Researchers have succeeded in forming a control loop consisting of two quantum systems separated by a distance of one meter. Within this loop, one quantum system - a vibrating nanomechanical membrane - is cooled by the other - a cloud of atoms, and the two systems are coupled to one another by laser light.
