Physicists at Imperial College London, UK, and Stockholm University, Sweden, have proposed a new way of creating entanglement between mechanical motion and an optical field, and also between two mechanical oscillators, using short pulses of light. Here research students Jack Clarke and Paulo Sahium along with group director Michael Vanner from the Quantum Measurement Lab at Imperial explain the work.

The research is reported in full in New Journal of Physics, published by IOP Publishing – which also publishes Physics World.
