Our researchers entangled helium atoms - โspooky action at a distanceโ with matter, in momentum space for the 1st time
It could enable experiments on incompatible , quantum & gravity, steps to Unified Theory of Everything physics.anu.edu.au/news_events/...

ANU physicists have observed helium atoms entangled in motion. Unlike previous photon experiments, these atoms have mass and feel gravity, opening a new way to test how quantum mechanics and general relativity connect.
