Here's something that kept me awake the other night.
You are no doubt familiar with some of the various experiments with quantum entanglement. The experiments and their results are strange enough to be sure, but my question isn't really about that.
How are individual entangled (or non-entangled, for that matter) particles observed? (Think back to the 1998 Caltech experiment where an individual photon was "teleported" about a meter. What means is used to make the observations?
