SSS 1997 December: A team at the University of Innsbruck led by Anton Zeilinger report that it has succeeded in transferring the quantum state of a particle from one place to another ~ in effect, teleporting it. An integral part of the process is the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. A group at Rome University, under the leadership of Francesco DeMartini, also successfully carries out quantum, ae teleportation, 7 2003 October: Anthony Leggett publishes a Bel-type inequality derived on w c 007 April: An Austrian-Polish team led by Markus Aspelmeyer and Anton Zeiinger announce that measurements of previously unesed correlations between pairs of entangled photons show that LeBsetS inequality is violated.
