Researchers at Durham University have successfully demonstrated long-lasting quantum entanglement between molecules, opening new doors for future advancements in quantum computing, sensing, and fundamental physics. Quantum entanglement of molecules In a world-first, scientists used precisely controlled optical traps, known as 'magic-wavelength optical tweezers,' to create a highly stable environment that supports long-lasting entanglement, a key capability for next-generation quantum technology. Quantum entanglement is a fundamental phenomenon where two particles become linked, and the state of one particle directly influences the other, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon is essential for quantum computing and other advanced technologies. While entanglement has been achieved with atoms, achieving it with complex molecules is a significant step forward because molecules offer additional structures and properties, such as vibration and rotation, that can be leveraged in advanced quantum applications. Lead author of the study, Professor Simon Cornish of Durham University, said: "The results highlight the remarkable control we have over individual molecules. Quantum entanglement is very fragile, yet we can entangle two molecules using incredibly weak interactions and then prevent loss of the entanglement for a time approaching one second." This breakthrough was made possible by the development of a stable environment that maintains coherence in entangled molecules over extended periods. By using specially tuned laser light in the optical tweezers, the researchers are able to control molecules with unprecedented precision, paving the way for more complex quantum operations. Co-author of the study, Dr Daniel Ruttley of Durham University, said: "Our work demonstrates the incredible potential of molecules as building blocks for next-generation quantum technologies. Long-lived molecular entanglement could be exploited to construct quantum computers or precise quantum sensors and to understand the quantum nature of complex materials." The research achieved exceptionally high entanglement fidelity, reaching levels over 92% and even higher when accounting for correctable errors. This stability in molecule entanglement is critical for applications requiring long measurement periods and storage of quantum information. Long-lived entanglement in molecules could enhance precision measurements in quantum sensing, simulate complex quantum materials, and enable new forms of quantum computation. Additionally, this research supports the development of 'quantum memories' - devices that store quantum information for longer durations, essential for advanced quantum networks. The breakthrough is the latest in a series of advancements in quantum science and represents a major leap towards using molecules in complex quantum technology.

This week's Open Mic guest is Randy Russell, President of the Russell Group. The race for the White House and leadership of the 119th Congress is coming down to the wire. The majority of polls show very narrow margins, but Russell suggests some trends may be developing as indicators of a Harris or Trump administration. Russell says history could be made in this Congressional election but control of the House of Representatives may not be known for several days after Nov. 5. Disaster assistance will likely be on the Lame Duck agenda and perhaps an economic assistance package for farmers, however, Russell says a new five year farm bill will likely be added to an already stacked legislative agenda in 2025.

The election is less than three weeks away so we discuss nothing else on this week's Friday Free-for-all with Jim Wiesemeyer of Pro Farmer and Tyson Redpath of The Russell Group. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, we talk with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack about USDA's efforts to help those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

With frozen tuition fees, falling international student enrolment and the very real possibility of a university going bankrupt, the UK's new Labour government has inherited a sector in crisis. The need for fast action is apparent, but where should priorities lie? Two higher education leaders share their perspectives on what the sector needs in the short and long term.  For this episode of the Campus podcast, we talk first to Vivienne Stern, chief executive of Universities UK, about universities' valuable opportunity to make a first impression, where Labour might turn for advice on higher education and how the sector may “tilt” in a quest for balance and stability.    Our second guest, Chris Day is chair of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities and vice-chancellor of Newcastle University. He details what is at stake for a sector amid a funding crisis, job cuts and department closures – and where new revenue streams might come from – as well as hope that the 4 July election has brought a chance to reset the sector's relationship with Westminster.

In this week's podcast Dr Oz Ismail talks with three dementia researchers who have made in their business to build supportive communities that celebrate and empower Black and minoritised scientists and dementia researchers. In the UK, around 7 per cent of undergraduate students are black, matching the percentage of black people aged 18 to 24. But the number plummets when you look at PhD students. For the past five years, the proportion of black PhD students at Russell Group universities – seen as the UK's most prestigious – has stagnated at around 2 per cent. The story is similar in the US, where African Americans make up nearly 13 per cent of the population, but win only 6.5 per cent of doctorates earned. Our guests discuss, what needs to be done, and what inspired them to act both personally and professional to support others from similar backgrounds – to follow their paths into science, and support them to remain. They go on to discuss just a few of the amazing resources and services are out there to support Black and minoritised researchers and scientists working in dementia and other diseases. Meet the guests... Dr Oz Ismail is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Mishra Lab, Oregon Health & Science University, USA. He studies the links between small stroke events and the onset of Alzheimer's pathology later in life.
