Abstract
Quantum mechanics allows matter to be prepared in a strangely correlated way called entanglement. In future, large numbers of entangled particles may be put to work in quantum computers and precise quantum measurements.
Quantum mechanics is almost a century old, yet the interpretation of its non-local character and its implications for measurement processes are still widely discussed. So the generation of a uniquely quantum-mechanical model system is of great interest for both fundamental and applied reasons.
