Summary
Rice University physicists, led by Qimiao Si, have proposed a method using quantum light to retrieve quantum entanglement from quantum critical materials, specifically strange metals. This approach could make it easier to study and control entanglement in larger material systems, advancing research in quantum materials and potentially enabling new quantum technologies.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledQuantum entanglement remains one of physics' strangest ideas.
Two particles become linked so closely that changing one instantly affects the other, even across large distances.
Scientists have studied this effect for years in tiny quantum systems, but controlling it in larger materials has proved much harder.
Researchers at Rice University believe they may have found a way to make that process easier.
