Breakthrough: Quantum Entanglement Achieved Between The Hearts of Two Atoms

Quantum entanglement, once described by Albert Einstein as

"spooky action at a distance"
, has long fascinated the public and puzzled scientists.

For quantum practitioners, entanglement is a connection between particles that is a key feature of quantum computers, enabling them to simulate natural quantum systems like molecules, pharmaceuticals, or catalysts.

In a new study published in Science, researchers have demonstrated quantum entanglement between two atomic nuclei separated by about 20 nanometres.
