Research
Research team from SJTU overcomes the problem of building predictive quantum entanglement at room temperature
Recently, a team of Professor Xianmin Jin from the School of Physics and Astronomy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) has achieved the first experimental prediction of entanglement between independent quantum nodes based on room-temperature atomic system synthesis. The team has overcome the problem of building predictive quantum entanglement between quantum nodes in room-temperature atomic systems, which promotes the development of more large-scale scalable and practical quantum networks.
