Physicists entangle a glass bead with a single photon
Original: this is frankly kind of badass: # quantum entanglement of a photon and a glass bead https:// arstechnica.com/science/202
Researchers report entangling a levitated glass bead, a relatively large visible object, with a single photon, a milestone in pushing quantum effects to bigger scales. The work, covered by Ars Technica, suggests suspended nanoscale beads could one day serve as quantum memory. Science observers are calling the result impressive, noting that entangling something you could almost see with light brings macroscopic quantum experiments a step closer.
Why now: A striking physics result showing quantum entanglement in an object far larger than typical particles has just been reported.
