Physicists get two atoms to communicate
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. physicists have, for the first time, coaxed two atoms to communicate with a type of quantum intuition that Albert Einstein once called "spooky."
The University of Michigan researchers said their accomplishment marks an advance toward super-fast quantum computing and might also be the start of a quantum internet.
The scientists used light to establish what's called "entanglement" between two atoms, which were trapped 1 meter apart in separate enclosures. They described entangling as similar to controlling the outcome of one coin flip with the outcome of a separate coin flip.
