Long-lived entanglement of molecules in magic-wavelength optical tweezers.

ABSTRACT: Realizing quantum control and entanglement of particles is crucial for advancing both quantum technologies and fundamental science. Substantial developments in this domain have been achieved in a variety of systems^1-5. In this context, ultracold polar molecules offer new and unique opportunities because of their more complex internal structure associated with vibration and rotation, coupled with the existence of long-range interactions^6,7. However, the same properties make molecules highly sensitive to their environment^8-10, affecting their coherence and utility in some applications. Here we show that by engineering an exceptionally controlled environment using rotationally magic^11,12 optical tweezers, we can achieve long-lived entanglement betwe
