Entanglement of an array of massive, magnetically levitated superconducting microparticles on a chip
Quantum states of massive objects have fascinated us since the inception of quantum mechanics. Nowadays molecules of thousands of atoms and nanomechanical resonators weighing picogram can be brought into quantum states. This capability enables tests of the validity of quantum mechanics and provides new avenues for quantum technologies. Entangled states are particularly relevant in this context as they unlock multipartite quantum correlations that, amongst others, enable precise measurements beyond the standard quantum limit and novel tests for the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity. However, no experiment to date demonstrated entanglement between a scalable number of massive…
