"Quantum Effects Brought to Light"

Have had this article for a while now - http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110428/full/news.2011.252.html - but I was wondering why you wouldn't expect Bell's inequality to be violated had the entanglement been broken before amplification. The results, prior to amplification, and when we see which polarisation the field of photons are in, are the same - so what is different about knowing the result before amplification and after, where after amplification you wouldn't expect the inequality to be violated.

Stupid boy has realized why this is so, after much thinking. Man, I can be an idiot sometimes.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
