Physicists using the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider detected quantum entanglement in pairs of Z bosons created in proton collisions at 99.99% the speed of light, generating 13 trillion electron volts. The discovery, published in Physical Review Letters, is among the highest-energy confirmations of quantum entanglement ever recorded.
“Finding it alive and well among particles as heavy and short-lived as Z bosons, created in some of the most violent collisions we can produce on Earth, shows just how fundamental and robust this quantum effect really is.”

Entanglement survives a 13 trillion electron volt collision and turns up in Z bosons that exist for a sliver of a second. The spooky part was never really the distance. It is that the rule holds up in the most violent conditions human beings know how to build. Scientists make 'spooky' disco...
