Argh, I never should perform calculations by hand if PhD students asking questions rush in and out. The mm just vanished. Yes, right. However, then their claim that "Before the quantum eraser experiment was performed, Bell’s inequality tests were performed to verify that entangled states were being detected" becomes pretty pointless as the states are just polarization-entangled, but not at all momentum-entangled. So they do not need entangled photons besides for figures 7-9 where they have some boiled-down kind of delayed choice. At least unless you use 3d glasses.
Then I do not understand why they did not perform the experiment under incoherent circumstances. That experiment is much cooler. Maybe it is just a "publish or perish" issue, so they could publish two papers...
