Physicists force atoms into state of quantum 'hyper-entanglement' using tweezers made of laser light

Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement.

This breakthrough could lead to new forms of quantum computing and advances in quantum simulations designed to answer fundamental questions about physics.
