(Dr Ling's device will test entanglement in orbit, without exchanging entangled photons with ground stations).Besides offering the world's paranoid a way to foil eavesdroppers, the quantum-equipped satellites will serve a more rarefied purpose.
Labour did much to reduce poverty, but little to stop the growth and sprawl of the welfare state.A thicket of entangled benefits has sprung up, compared by some to Japanese knotweed.
Two entangled qubits permit four operations; three permit eight; and so on.

If markets currently believe that the American housing-finance bodies are "too big to fail" then the government needs to downsize them rather than become further entangled in and responsible for their increasingly indecipherable activities.A blueprint exists: the break up of AT&T and creation of the Baby Bells.
The same year a team led by Anton Zeilinger, from the University of Vienna, successfully dispatched an entangled photon 144km through the air from the Canary island of Tenerife to another, La Palma.
Had Eve intercepted one of the entangled photons, she would have had to send another unentangled one on.
Spain wants to be put on a par with the "big four" countries; the Dutch want more say than the Belgians, and so on.The reweighting of votes between countries will inevitably become entangled with the third big item on the agenda: what to do with the European Commission in an enlarged EU.
"You need to have ways of cutting across the two books and having aggregate limits scaled across both," says Mr Ervin at Credit Suisse, which has a group that looks at market risk and credit risk together.The chief risk officer of a large European bank gives another hypothetical example of how entangled things can get.
Each group introduces a third party who sits between Alice and Bob.In this scheme, rather than creating and sending entangled photons, Alice and Bob begin by polarising their light pulses at random.
Its history is entangled with that of the giant to its north.
