In a world-first, quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. Their experiment using helium atoms, represents a major advancement on similar experiments using photons, which are particles of light.

But unlike photons, helium atoms have mass and experience gravity.

This development unlocks new ways to examine one of the biggest unanswered questions about the universe: how does the small-scale physics of quantum mechanics interact with gravity and general relativity at the universal scale?

By observing quantum entanglement in atoms for the first time, are we one small step closer to finding out whether the “Theory of Everything” is not just hot air?
