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 quantum entanglement between an individual photon and a tiny suspended glass bead, a milestone in linking light to a solid object at the quantum scale. The achievement, covered by Ars Technica, could point toward quantum memory devices, since light and matter states can in principle store and transfer quantum information. Commenters online are calling the experiment impressive.
Why now: A striking new physics experiment combining optics and mechanical objects has just been published, drawing admiration from science readers.
