Quantum entanglement stronger than suspected

[blike]

NewScientist is reporting that pairs of photons quantumly entangled can pass through sheets of metal without the entanglement being destroyed.

 

This could lead to advances in quantum computing.

I tried reading up on beginners quantum entanglement at this site

http:http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmah174.htm

It sounds to me the entanglement is more of a statistical anamoly that shows the quantum particles are more likely to be entangled than not but it can't be totally counted on yet.

Entanglement seems to me to be a more likely thing than an absolute.
