Abstract
We present an experiment which prepare entanglement between photons that nowhere interacted and whose paths nowhere crossed. The experiment puts together two photons from two (non-maximal) singlet-like photon pairs and make them interfere at an asymmetrical beam splitter. As a result one finds polarization correlations between the other companion photons from the pairs whose paths nowhere crossed each other even when no polarization measurements have been carried out on the former photons. The latter set of photons that nowhere interacted are therefore event-ready prepared by their pair-companion photons. The result reveals nonlocality as a property of selection which can even be a preselection. It also reveals that one can predict spin-correlated behaviour of photons in space and at beam splitters by controlling a no-spin observable. [From the Book of Abstracts as appeared at the Workshop.]
