Scientists in China say they have made a breakthrough on the way to developing practical processors for quantum computers by achieving the entanglement of multiple ultracold atoms in a laser trap.
While previous studies had only been able to entangle two atoms at a time, the team developed new experimental devices and methods to link eight and 10 atoms in two-dimensional blocks and one-dimensional chains, respectively, marking a crucial step towards preparing and manipulating large-scale atom entanglement.
