Schrödinger’s anthill: Quantum entanglement found in a crystal large enough to hold

Scientists have observed strong quantum entanglement in a centimeter-sized crystal, demonstrating that macroscopic objects can exhibit quantum behavior. The discovery was made using quantum Fisher information, a technique that measures how a system responds to changes. This finding could advance understanding of strange metals and enable new quantum technologies. The research suggests that quantum effects are not limited to microscopic scales but can also occur in larger, everyday materials.

What happened

Scientists found strong quantum entanglement in a hand-sized crystal, showing that large objects can display quantum behavior.

Why it matters

This discovery could lead to better quantum sensors and help explain the behavior of strange metals.

Why it belongs here

It highlights how quantum phenomena, once thought limited to tiny particles, can be studied in everyday materials, opening new scientific and technological possibilities.
