Scientists 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 them into an entangled state by shifting the frequency of a laser beam. The experiment demonstrates quantum entanglement in relatively large mechanical objects. Readers online are sharing the study, remarking on how the optical tweezers technique makes the research feel almost magical.

Why now: A newly shared study showing entanglement achieved in a macroscopic glass bead system is drawing attention for its seemingly magical use of light.
