Just as importantly, the experiment shows that the only barrier to applying certain kinds of quantum effects is technical — there is no physical reason that one shouldn't be able to see quantum phenomena at high enough energies that they would bleed into the visible world...

What does that mean?

I don’t know but quantum entanglement has interesting potential for things like computing and possibly long distance communications.

Right now, observing quantum effects is very technically difficult. Raising the energy of those events makes detection, and therefore usefullness much easier.

At least I think that's what they said in culinary school.

Your left hand doesn’t know what your hand is doing but does exactly the same action.

I imagine it means things like probabilistic position and momentum.

I think it simply relates to one of the sentences just above it:

“This shows that entanglement effects can be seen at high energies, meaning closer to the macroscopic world we all know and interact with.”

Therefore suggesting that theoretically at least (and far beyond our current capability) it should be possible to do something like this so that it would be visible to the naked eye.
