Entanglement—linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other—is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.
While entanglement has been demonstrated in very small particles, new research from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) Prof. Andrew Cleland is thinking big, demonstrating high-fidelity entanglement between two acoustic wave resonators.
The paper is published in Nature Communications.
"A lot of research groups have demonstrated that they can entangle very, very small things down to the single electron. But here we can demonstrate entanglement between two massive objects," said co-first author Ming-Han Chou, a former UChicago PME and Physics doctoral researcher now at the Amazon Web Services Center of Quantum Computing. "The second thing we demonstrate in this research is that our platform is scalable. If you can imagine building a big quantum processor, our platform would be like a unit cell within that."
Huge advancement.
