Physicists entangle a suspended glass bead with a photon
Original: this is frankly kind of badass: # quantum entanglement of a photon and a glass bead https:// arstechnica.com/science/202
Researchers have reported quantum entanglement between a single photon and a tiny levitated glass bead, a feat that pushes quantum mechanics further into the macroscopic world. The experiment, covered by Ars Technica, suggests the setup could eventually serve as a quantum memory. Scientists online are calling the result striking, noting that entangling a solid object visible-scale object with light is a rare and difficult achievement with implications for quantum computing and sensing.
Why now: A newly reported experiment entangling light with a solid object is a striking physics milestone that has captured scientific attention.
