By playing two tiny drums, physicists have provided the most direct demonstration yet that quantum entanglement a bizarre effect normally associated with subatomic particles works for larger objects.
The findings, described in two Science papers on 6 May1,2, could help researchers to build measuring devices of unprecedented sensitivity, as well as quantum computers that…
