Researchers at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado at Boulder and the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology, have demonstrated quantum entanglement between the motion of a minuscule mechanical drum and a microwave field. This lets scientists observe quantum behavior in larger objects. The researchers built on groundbreaking work carried out in 2010 by UCSB physicists, who first demonstrated quantum superposition in an object large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
