In the December 6 issue of the journal Nature scientists report that for the first time they have been able to entangle 2 molecules, in this case calcium monofluoride (CaF). This could have important practical implications in building a quantum computer because molecules have more degrees of freedom than atoms do, especially if they're polar (an unequal distribution of electrical charge) as CaF is. Molecules can vibrate and rotate in many ways and so they can encode many more Qubits than atoms can.
