Circular motion is as much part of classical literature as it is a cornerstone of science -- the iconic windmill in Cervantes' novel Don Quixote harnesses the power of the wind to generate rotational motion.
Researchers at Glasgow University also showed that rotational motion should produce entanglement – a quantum effect where objects become interconnected – dubbed by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”. The proposed experiments with quantum light and rotational motion might shed light on the elusive quantum-gravity theory, one of the biggest open problems of modern physics, and lead to applications in communication and computation technology.
