Physicists entangle suspended glass bead with light

Original: An experimental tour-de-force: Entanglement between glass bead and light

Researchers report entangling a levitated glass nanoparticle with light, an experimental milestone in quantum optics. The result points toward possible uses such as quantum memories, where light states could be stored in a mechanical object. Commenters are calling the work an experimental tour-de-force, impressed by the difficulty of isolating a tiny glass bead well enough for quantum effects to dominate.

Why now: A technically demanding quantum entanglement result with potential implications for quantum memory has just been published and is drawing attention.
