  75 years after the term "entanglement" was coined to a peculiar feature
inherent to quantum systems, the connection between quantum and classical
mechanics remains an open problem. Drawing on recent results obtained in
semiclassical systems, we discuss here the fate of entanglement in a closed
system as Planck's constant becomes vanishingly small. In that case the
generation of entanglement in a quantum system is perfectly reproduced by
properly defined correlations of the corresponding classical system. We
speculate on what these results could imply regarding the status of
entanglement and of the ensuing quantum correlations.
