Conceptual diagram of an experiment to test gravity-induced entanglement using optomechanical systems

Caption

Two optomechanical systems arranged as shown, where the cylindrical mirrors A and B interact via gravity. The interaction affects only the differential mechanical mode associated with their relative displacement, generating quantum entanglement between the mirrors.
