Quantum physics

Entanglement beyond identical ions

Nature volume 528, pages 337–338 (2015)Cite this article

Subjects

Control of quantum particles has been extended to enable different types of ion to be entangled — correlated in a non-classical way. This opens up opportunities for the development of new quantum technologies. See Letters p.380 & p.384
