Researchers achieve record entanglement of quantum memories - Phys.org

A network in which data transmission is perfectly secure against hacking? If physicists have their way, this will become reality one day with the help of the quantum mechanical phenomenon known as entanglement. For entangled particles, the rule is: If you mea…

Schematic of the experimental setup. In each node, located in buildings 400m apart, a single 87Rb atom is loaded in an optical dipole trap. Both atoms are synchronously excited to the state 52P3/2|F=… [+5730 chars]
