# phys: entanglement observed in near-macroscopic objects

<< Perhaps the strangest prediction of quantum theory is entanglement, a phenomenon whereby two distant objects become intertwined in a manner that defies both classical physics and a common-sense understanding of reality >>

<< In work recently published in Nature, a team (..) has shown that entanglement of massive objects can be generated and detected >>

<< Entanglement has been demonstrated for microscopic-scale systems, such as those involving photons, ions and electron spins, and more recently in microwave and electromechanical devices >>

AA << report such an experimental demonstration, with the moving bodies being two massive micromechanical oscillators, each composed of about 10^12 atoms, coupled to a microwave-frequency electromagnetic cavity that is used to create and stabilize the entanglement of their centre-of-mass motion >>
