I've been trying to research an answer for this question for some time...

Does anyone out there in Masdo-Land know what the maximum time that physicists have been able to maintain an entangled pair of particles before decoherence?

@Pat Near as I can tell, 5 seconds, and this is an awesome question because this answer isn't for entangled photons. Entangled photons can stay entangled for 10⁹ seconds, 31.6887646 years from current estimates. But the problem is trapping them without them getting absorbed or lost. So until there's a solid photon trap, they're going for distance records.
