Axil, This is a perplexing issue. The environment seems to hate many entangled states, and tries to destroy them, even when they are in a deeper energy well than the disentangled states they generate. Maybe sometimes the energy to disentangle them does come from vacuum energy. I wish I knew for

Dave, I'm not sure this is what you are asking for, but there are several ways to implement (unitary) multi-path interferometers for photons or particles with spin. These are non-trivial papers, but see for example -- A physical system which can be forced to execute an arbitrary unitary
