Classical theories of gravity produce entanglement - Nature
By applying the full framework of quantum field theory, it is shown that local classical theories of gravity can transmit quantum information and, thus, generate entanglement through physical, local processes.

Very cool Nobel Prize this year. Quantum physics is (too) often reduced to the 100-year-old work of its pioneers. Back at
@natphys.nature.com
we celebrated experiments that took it from the 1920s to superconducting quantum computers
