Entangling atoms in a molecule

[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 6480757, member: 572426"] Ah, sorry, realized you meant entangling the constituent atoms in a molecule, not entangling a molecule with an atom (that's what quantum logic spectroscopy is). The issue is that constituent atoms are already incredibly well entangled! Consider this, in quantum computing experiments where atomic ions are entangled, two ions are coupled by Coulomb forces acting over a distance on the order of a few microns. Compare that to a molecule where two "ions" are coupled over a few angstroms. The atomic states are so well mixed you'd be hard pressed to project them out. That's what molecular states are, after all. With "halo dimers" it might be another story, but I haven't the faintest idea how you would project the molecular state onto an atomic state without first dissociating the dimer. [/QUOTE]
