Why on earth did Wikipedia say that olive oil performs spontaneous parametric down-conversion? In this video, we learn the basics of quantum mechanics and we use it to explain why extra virgin olive oil shines red with a green laser. We also learn how scientists were able to use a protein found in jellyfish (and GloFish!) to create entangled particles.
