Quantum light could help scientists retrieve entanglement from strange metals faster

Rice University researchers proposed a photon-based method to induce and later retrieve entanglement from quantum materials.

The technique uses mirrored cavities and tunes the material near a quantum critical point, where light and matter act as a coupled system.

By making entanglement easier to create and measure, the approach could advance studies of exotic phases such as strange metals.

The work, reported in Nature Communications, may also help enable future quantum sensors and devices.
