Quantum entanglement, an intriguing aspect of quantum physics, allows
particles to remain interconnected regardless of distance. This
phenomenon was explored at new heights in 2023 when the ATLAS
collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider observed entanglement
between top quarks, marking a major advancement in understanding the
universe’s fundamental forces.
Quantum entanglement is a fascinating feature of quantum physics – the
theory of the very small. If two particles are quantum-entangled, the
state of one particle is tied to that of the other, no matter how far
apart the particles are. This mind-bending phenomenon, which has no
analog in classical physics, has been observed in a wide variety of
systems and has found several important applications, such as quantum
cryptography and quantum computing.

'Spooky action at a distance', confirmed for the heaviest known
fundamental particles. Top quarks are each as heavy as an atom of gold
and can only be produced at colliders, such as LHC.
