Entanglement Born in Collisions ⚡ экспресс
Original: "General framework for quantifying entanglement production in ultracold molecular collisions and chemical reactions"
Physicists have, for the first time, detailed and learned to measure quantum entanglement created in molecular collisions.

Two molecules collided and gave birth to a quantum mutant cat! That's one way to describe the discovery: in ordinary reactions, complex entanglement arises, akin to Schrödinger's cat in a dozen boxes. A magnetic field lets you conduct this process.
🎯 At ultralow temperatures, molecules move slower than a pedestrian, and a collision that births a quantum knot stretches over milliseconds—an eternity in the micro-world.
🎬 Controlled quantum knots are the foundation of fantastical technologies: from instant communication to teleportation, as in Star Trek.
