Atoms Get Entangled in Space: A New Kind of Quantum Link ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Macroscopic position-position entanglement by photon recoil in Rydberg atoms"
Scientists have for the first time entangled the positions of two atoms separated by hundreds of microns.

Two atoms play quantum leapfrog: one gets a light kick and jumps hundreds of microns, but only if the second allows it. Thus, position entanglement is born — a new trick for future quantum computers.
🎯 Between Rydberg atoms, forces act that are comparable to the gravity of small bodies — and this despite their purely electric nature.
