Jian-Wei Pan coauthored an optical demonstration of entanglement swapping. Starting with two separate entangled photon pairs, a joint Bell-state measurement on one photon from each pair conditionally prepared the remaining two photons in an entangled state, although those two photons had not interacted. The resulting correlations are conditioned on the joint measurement record, which is essential when comparing the data.[ref]

Pan Jianwei is a prominent Chinese physicist known for his work in the fields of quantum information science and quantum communication. He is widely recognized for his contributions to the development of quantum technology, particularly in the area of quantum key distribution and quantum entanglement. Pan Jianwei gained international attention in 2016 when he led a team that successfully launched the world's first quantum satellite, Micius, which was designed to facilitate secure communication using quantum entanglement.
