Quantum magic bullets via entanglement

Summary form only given. Entanglement is a peculiar quantum phenomenon in which two quantum systems exhibit a greater degree of correlation than is permitted classically. One of the earliest and most striking pictures of entanglement was given by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) in their original paper on entangled states! In contrast with the majority of subsequent work, which has focused on discrete systems such as quantum bits or qubits, the original EPR paper concentrated on entanglement of continuous variables, position and momentum. In this paper we show that entanglement of continuous variables exhibits several significant properties in the context of scattering theory.
