These Drums Beat in Perfect Synchrony Because They re Quantumly Entangled
Alerts
Entanglement causes two separated objects to behave as though they are connected, illustrated here as two conga drums twisted around each other. However, as the researchers measure each drum’s position, they appear to act independently shown here as the two drums’ separated shadows. To confirm the drums are entangled, the researchers must measure the drum position many times and examine the statistics.

Physicists have built two tiny drums, each as large as a human hair is wide, and synchronized their vibrations exactly. They achieved this perfect unison of drums using a quantum mechanics phenomenon known as entanglement and the drums could be useful for developing quantum computers.

Physics courses inspired by âgood gamesâ help draw high schoolers to STEM careers
Newswise Watch a group of teens immersed in a popular video game such as “Among Us” and you will see a textbook definition of successful engagement. Well-designed games ones with clearly stated goals, an emphasis on storytelling, an allowance for “productive failure,” and an emphasis on supportive teamwork and inclusiveness can point the way to a better classroom environment, too, says University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Lauren Rast, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Physics.
Rast is a UAB pioneer in a mode of instruction called gameful learning. Faculty in the Department of Physics already have applied gameful learning in their increasingly popular online courses. And in a series of workshops for high school physics teachers inspired by her own work as a computational physicist, Rast has helped teachers share the benefits of
