Suspended glass bead entangled with light in quantum first

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 hailed as strikingly impressive by science observers. The experiment, described in Ars Technica, could point toward uses such as quantum memory, bridging the microscopic world of light and the mechanical motion of an everyday material object.

Why now: News of a surprising physics experiment entangling light with a solid macroscopic object has just been published and is being shared by impressed readers.
