Rice Researchers Report Dressing Matter With Light Could Lead to Large-Scale Entanglement

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren’t physically close to each other. This phenomenon has often been observed in small quantum systems with only a few particles in […]

Why this matters
Why now
