TL;DR Summary
Trapping molecules to perform quantum operations.

Trapping molecules to perform quantum operations. By carefully controlling how the molecules rotated with respect to one another, the team managed to entangle two molecules, creating a quantum state known as a two-qubit Bell state with 94 percent accuracy. The iSWAP gate used in this experiment swapped the states of two qubits and applied what is called a phase shift, an essential step in generating entanglement where the states of two qubits become correlated regardless of the distance in between.

So progress. For the uninitiated like me it does sound like baby steps though.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
