This discovery shows that quantum entanglement is not merely confined to the microscopic regime but can be quantified in a macroscopic sample you can grip.
The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

This finding challenges prior assumptions about quantum mechanics and suggests that quantum effects can be observed in larger objects, potentially opening new avenues for quantum technologies and a deeper understanding of strange metals. It implies the boundary between the quantum world and our everyday world is thinner than previously believed.
