Three Electrons Entangled

An anonymous reader writes "Science Blog reports on Michigan researchers who have managed to entangle three electrons at once. "The quantum entanglement of three electrons, using an ultrafast optical pulse and a quantum well of a magnetic semiconductor material, has been demonstrated in a laboratory at the University of Michigan, marking another step toward the realization of a practical quantum computer. While several experiments in recent years have succeeded in entangling pairs of particles, few researchers have managed to correlate three or more particles in a predictable fashion.""

No. Since the three of them are entangled, they all collapse together when one is measured. The important thing about this article is that you need many entangled electrons to make most complicated calculations, the same way you want many logic gates connected to each other in a computer.
