Photons stay entangled despite huge jump in frequency

Up-conversion: the new scheme converts single photons from a lower frequency to a higher one by scattering them off a moving refractive index grating created by molecular vibrations in an optical fibre filled with hydrogen gas. (Courtesy: Nicholas Joly)
A new technique that keeps two photons entangled while greatly increasing the frequency of one of th
