The quantum mechanical entanglement of two particles into one common, correlated state is the basis of modern quantum technologies such as the quantum computer. For this purpose as many particles are needed, which are entangled with each other. In ultracold gases of single atoms, nonclassic states were created with entanglement between thousands of particles. Prof. Klempt and his co-operation partners have managed to show the generation of entanglement between two spatially separated clouds by splitting an ensemble of ultracold identical particles. Since the clouds can be addressed individually, their experiments open a way to exploit the available entangled states of indistinguishable particles for applications of quantum information.
The results have now been published in the renowned scientific journal "Science". Science Vol. 360, Issue 6387, pp. 416-418 (2018), DOI: 10.1126/science.aao2035
