ATLAS (LHC) achieves highest-energy detection of quantum entanglement
“This is the first-ever observation of entanglement between a pair of quarks and the highest-energy measurement of entanglement. Apart from the fundamental interest of testing quantum entanglement in a new environment, this measurement paves the way to use the LHC as a laboratory to study quantum information and other foundational problems in quantum mechanics.”
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerators with a 27km circumference with over 9,000 magnets that can generate 9 billion collisions per second.
There is even a !boinc project where you can contribute your computer’s spare computational power to analyzing the huge mass of data this project generates, no PhD required! Each year of operation generates approx 30 petabytes of data, equivalent to 1.2 million bluray disks.
