Researchers at Durham University have successfully demonstrated long-lasting quantum entanglement between molecules.<\/h2>\n

Achieving this stage of quantum entanglement opens new doors for future advancements in quantum computing, sensing, and fundamental physics.<\/p>\n

In a world-first, scientists used precisely controlled optical traps, known as \u2018magic-wavelength optical tweezers,\u2019 to create a highly stable environment that supports long-lasting entanglement, a key capability for next-generation quantum technology.<\/p>\n

Quantum entanglement and its applications in technology<\/h3>\n

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental phenomenon where two particles become linked, and the state of one particle directly influences the other, regardless of the distance between them.<\/p>\n

This means that measuring one particle’s property will instantly determine the property of the other<\/a>, even though information cannot travel faster than the speed of light.<\/p>\n

Despite its strange implications, entanglement has been experimentally verified and is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, with potential applications in quantum computing and cryptography, such as:<\/p>\n
