For the past 15 years, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement has come to play an increasingly important role in a number of fields in physics. Driven largely by the potential impact this effect may have in communications and information processing, wide-ranging investigations into the nature of entanglement, and into how entanglement can be created, preserved, and exploited in the laboratory have been undertaken with considerable success. While practical quantum information processing remains a tantalizing and inspiring vision, we propose in this project to investigate the possibility of more short-term practical applications of entanglement. Rather than awaiting the development of complex and challenging technologies from the current prototypes into scalable, practical devices (a process which may yet take decades, at least as far as quantum computing is concerned), the applications we propose to investigate will grow out of the already demonstrated capabilities of systems, thereby leveraging the expertise built up.

在过去的15年里，量子纠缠现象在物理学的许多领域中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 在很大程度上，由于这种效应可能对通信和信息处理产生的潜在影响，对纠缠的性质以及如何在实验室中创建、保存和利用纠缠进行了广泛的调查，并取得了相当大的成功。 虽然实际的量子信息处理仍然是一个诱人和鼓舞人心的愿景，但我们在这个项目中建议研究纠缠的短期实际应用的可能性。 而不是等待复杂和具有挑战性的技术从当前的原型发展成可扩展的实用设备（这个过程可能需要几十年，至少就量子计算而言），我们建议研究的应用程序将从已经证明的系统能力中发展出来，从而利用积累的专业知识。
