Oxford team sustains quantum entanglement for 10 seconds

Scientists at the University of Oxford created a quantum network that uses two different atoms, including strontium. They kept the particles entangled for 10 seconds. The achievement may help enable faster quantum computing.

The Oxford result concerns quantum entanglement, a central phenomenon in quantum science. The team built a quantum network using two different atoms, including strontium, and kept the particles entangled for 10 seconds. The achievement may help enable faster quantum computing. The story is therefore a specific experimental milestone within the wider topic of quantum technologies, where entanglement and networks are studied for future computing capabilities.
