A New Way to Entangle Light and Matter

Researchers at Rice University have proposed a method for dramatically enhancing quantum entanglement between light and matter by pushing materials toward quantum critical states.

Using mirrored cavities to link photons with solid-state particles, the approach could make previously inaccessible quantum effects easier to control and harness. The breakthrough may accelerate the development of next-generation quantum sensors and information technologies.
