Quantum light : The puzzling predictions of entanglement are coming of age

Entanglement is the physical property that marks the most striking deviation of the quantum from the classical world. It has been mentioned first by the great Austrian Physicist Erwin Schr¨odinger in 1935 (an introduction to this and other quantum phenomena is given in [1]). Yet, despite this theoretical prediction now being 80 years old, and the famous experimental verifications by Alain Aspect dating back to the early eighties [2], entanglement and its use entered mainstream physics as a key element of quantum information science [3] only in the 1990's.
