Physicists entangle vibrating glass beads using laser light
Original: This article makes quantum entanglement research with a glass bead and a light beam seem magical, with its optical tweez
Researchers have entangled two vibrating glass beads using optical tweezers, 'kicking' the beads in just the right way with frequency-shifted laser light so their motion becomes quantum-mechanically linked. The study is drawing attention online for making a complex quantum experiment read like something magical, with light beams alone used to connect solid objects at the quantum level.
Why now: The counterintuitive idea that ordinary glass beads can be entangled using nothing but laser light is capturing people's imagination.
