Trying to Untangle Entanglement

As yet researchers have been unable to untangle pairs of entangled photons, devised an experiment they thought should do it with ease.
But a team from Leiden University in the Nertherlands, discovered otherwise, when they fired entangled photons at gold sheets. The sheets were peppered with minute holes 200 nanometres wide.
Far too small for a light photon to go thru, but as
the photons hit the gold surface,they created waves
of electrons that passed thru the holes and re-emitted the still entangled photons on the other side, to go on their merry way.
