Adesso, d´Espagnat, and the amazing achievement of the experts from Ludwig Maximilian University

A paper recently published in Nature reports that experts from Ludwig Maximilian University successfully connected single atoms located 33 kilometers apart through quantum entanglement. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04764-4

While my expertise lies in civil engineering rather than the field of physics that explains quantum entanglement, I do recall emailing theoretical physicist Gerardo Adesso, a Professor at The University of Nottingham, back on September 1, 2015. I asked him for a comment on the intriguing definition of quantum physics as “infinite love,” coined by French theoretical physicist Bernard d’Espagnat. I also inquired about Adesso’s publication, The Social Aspects of Quantum Entanglement, in which he compared quantum entanglement to “passion at a distance.”

“…Entanglement thus manifests as a somehow puzzling correlation…between parties who once came into contact, and mantain their contact even miles away. This has been experimentally demonstrated with individual atoms or light beams: but how can it fit in our everyday experience of life? The closest feeling which comes into my mind is love. Think of a mother and a child, or two lovers who shared an intense emotion, and are now living at the opposite sides of the world. They feel each other, perceive the happiness or the sadness of the distant partner, and are influenced by this”
