Curiously, the algorithm kept producing something else, something simpler, which we initially thought was incorrect.
We then realized that PyTheus’s solution actually entangles two distant particles without starting from entanglement, without BSM & even without measuring all ancillary photons.

For me, this changed my perspective on what is necessary to create entanglement—not because I now know what is necessary, but because I’ve realized what is not.
Beautifully implemented by the group of Xiaosong Ma at Nanjing University.
