The 'Quantum Bath' That Keeps Qubits Entangled Without Constant Supervision

Entangling quantum bits across distance typically requires constant measurement and active feedback to preserve their delicate quantum states. Now, physicists have demonstrated a more passive approach: a "quantum bath" that handles the heavy lifting automatically. The team engineered a shared environment filled with correlated microwave photons that continuously
