Intercontinental quantum liaisons between entangled electrons in ion   traps of thermoluminescent crystals
  The experiments reported in this paper were carried out with space-separated entangled thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) crystals in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (USA) and Givarlais (France) at 8,182 km between entangled samples. Samples consisted of doped lithium fluoride TLD's that were simultaneously irradiated in pairs together at one location by Bremsstrahlung radiation generated by a Varian CLINAC unit. One of the paired TLD crystals was then mailed to Baton Rouge and its entangled counterpart remained in Givarlais. The crystal in Baton Rouge (master) was then subjected to thermal stimulation which elicited a measurable light emission response in the counterpart (slave) under a photomultiplier in Givarlais. Highly correlated passive light emissions were observed in the nonheated slave TLD while the master TLD was ramped up in temperature and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. Maximum correlations in the slave TLD light emissions were observed at the turn around temperature which is the point where the master TLD temperature is allowed to decrease. The experimenter in Girvalais was thus able to determine with high accuracy the point in time at which the master TLD heating oven was turned off (turn around point) without any communication between the experimenters during the heating-cooling phase of the experiment. The implications of these observed results are of great significance for quantum communication technology.
