Physicists entangle two moving atoms for the first time, validating 'spooky' quantum theory

SMRTR summary

Scientists successfully entangled two moving helium atoms through their momentum for the first time, proving Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" theory applies to how particles physically move. Using ultracold atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate and specialized laser techniques, researchers validated fundamental quantum mechanics predictions that seemed impossibly strange.
