Scientists successfully demonstrated long-lasting quantum entanglement between molecules
- Advancing quantum technology requires precise control over quantum states and the ability to entangle particles. This control has seen significant progress in various systems, yet extending it to more complex molecular systems offers unparalleled opportunities.
Scientists have achieved a significant milestone in quantum physics by demonstrating long-lasting quantum entanglement between two individual molecules, each composed of 27 atoms. This experiment, conducted by a team from Princeton University, involved cooling the molecules to temperatures just above absolute zero and using microwave pulses to control their quantum states. The entanglement was maintained for up to a millisecond, which, although brief, is considered long in the quantum realm. This breakthrough could pave the way for advancements in quantum computing, where entangled molecules could serve as qubits, potentially leading to more stable and scalable quantum systems. The research, published in the journal Science, highlights the potential of using complex molecules for quantum information processing, offering new insights into quantum mechanics and its applications.
