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]
