Entanglement Detection
An article entitled Technology Review: Technique Detects Quantum State has a brief summary of research originally published in the November 28, 2003 issue of Physical Review Letters:
"The researchers generated entangled photons using a crystal and a pair of laser beams. They showed that it was possible to detect entanglement using three independent local measurements. The method is particularly useful for determining if entanglement survived the transmission of photons over a fiber optic line."
