Quantum Entanglement of Macroscopic Diamonds

New submitter ananyo writes "A pair of diamond crystals has been linked by quantum entanglement ? one of the first times that objects visible to the naked eye have been placed in a connected quantum state. 'This means that a vibration in the crystals could not be meaningfully assigned to one or other of them: both crystals were simultaneously vibrating and not vibrating (abstract). Quantum entanglement ? interdependence of quantum states between particles not in physical contact ? has been well established between quantum particles such as atoms at ultra-cold temperatures. But like most quantum effects, it doesn't tend to survive either at room temperature or in objects large enough to see with the naked eye.'"
