Quantum physics

Getting the measure of entanglement

Nature volume 528, pages 48–49 (2015)Cite this article

Subjects

A property called entanglement entropy helps to describe the quantum states of interacting particles, and it has at last been measured. The findings open the door to a deeper understanding of quantum systems. See Article p.77
