So as I read it, this is an application of some techniques developed for string theory to some completely different area of physics ? So it's not really a test of string theory as fundamental physics....
Yep, i read it that way too, but if quantum entanglement isn't related to fundamental physics in some way or other, I'm a cat.
Yes, I agree, quanglement is certainly pretty fundamental.
But I think the application is of some string theory maths to the modelling of some quanglement scenario (maybe a scenario related to the fancy shit they do in the quantum computing experimentation these days), rather than to stuff like "here's a string model of a gravitino"...
