An illustration of two entangled mechanical systems shows each behaving like two balls connected by a spring. Researchers entangled the pairs’ motions (represented by purple), even though the two magnesium ions (green) and two beryllium ions (red) are far from each other. The arrows show the internal spin states of the beryllium ions. Credit: Illustration by John Jost with help from Jason Amini
