Abstract
The recent experiments on long-distance Bell-type tests clearly indicate that quantum correlations between photons can persist for very long distances at least over 10 km. These experimental results support the view that distance has no effect on quantum correlations. We propose that the cosmological scale might be an arena to test those long distance quantum correlations.
