Physicists entangle photon with suspended glass bead
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 glass bead levitated in place, a feat described by observers as striking. The work points toward using such mechanical objects as quantum memories, linking light and a solid object at the quantum level. Commenters online are calling the experiment impressive and a notable step for quantum technology.
Why now: News of a macroscopic object being quantum-entangled with light is a striking physics milestone, driving discussion.
