Glass bead entangled with light in quantum experiment
Original: An experimental tour-de-force: Entanglement between glass bead and light
Physicists have reported entangling a levitated glass nanoparticle with light, an experimental milestone in quantum optics. The result, described as an experimental tour-de-force, points toward possible uses such as quantum memory, since a mechanical object held in place by optical trapping can be coupled to photons. Commenters are highlighting the technical difficulty of keeping a tiny glass bead isolated enough for quantum effects to survive.
Why now: A striking quantum entanglement result combining a solid object and light has just been published and is drawing attention for its potential quantum-memory applications.
