Physicists have found 'quantum magic' in top quarks — a previously unknown type of quantum connection.

Top quarks, disappearing in trillionths of a second, manage to exhibit quantum 'magic' — a new type of correlation that scientists are just beginning to study. This could change our understanding of the quantum world.

🎯 The top quark is nearly 200 times more massive than the proton and vanishes faster than a trillionth of a second. In that brief moment, it exhibits the most complex quantum connections.

🎬 In 'The Quantum Thief,' quantum correlations are used for faster-than-light communication; the real experiment shows that connections are even more diverse — from discord to quantum magic — opening up room for imagination.
