Two atoms, trapped in laser beams, are shown in a special quantum state called "superentanglement." In this state, both their motion and their internal energy are linked, opening up new possibilities for quantum technologies. Credit: Artificial intelligence-generated visualization by Manuel Endres

Controlling quantum motion and superentanglement

Two atoms, trapped in laser beams, are shown to be in a special quantum state called “superentanglement.” In this state, both their motion and their internal energy are linked together, opening up new possibilities for quantum technologies.
