Spartan legacy linebacker chooses to commit to Rutgers before taking MSU official visit
Michigan State football recently got into the recruitment of a legacy recruit, looking to make a splash and a play on a linebacker with ties to the university. Adam Shaw, the son of former Spartan All-American Scott Shaw, was the prospect on the Spartans radar. Unfortunately, the Spartans aren't going to get a real crack at the legacy prospect, after Shaw has made his commitment to Rutgers, cancelling his other official visits. Shaw is a native of Hillsdale, New Jersey, and made his decision to stay with the in-state Scarlet Knights over offers from Pitt and MSU. He is an 88-rated 3-star by 247Sports, being recruited as a linebacker, standing at 6'3" and weighing 205 pounds. It is unfortunate that Spartans are not going to get a chance with the legacy recruit, with having an official visit be such a massive part of the recruiting process, but Rutgers got the first crack at the prospect and landed their shot. Lessening the blow, Michigan State landed the commitment of 3-star linebacker Braylon Hodge on Sunday afternoon, gaining a massive addition at the linebacker position. Need a break?

Physicists force atoms into state of quantum 'hyper-entanglement' using tweezers made of laser light
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Using optical tweezers composed of laser light, researchers have developed a novel way to manipulate individual atoms and create a state of hyper-entanglement. This breakthrough could lead to new forms of quantum computing and advances in quantum simulations designed to answer fundamental questions about physics. Caltech scientists have been using optical tweezers to control individual atoms for several decades, leading to a number of advances, including quantum error correction and a method for creating the world's most accurate clocks. One persistent issue in the process, however, has been the natural motion of atoms, which can introduce noise (and errors) into a quantum system. But in the breakthrough study, published in the journal Science, that weakness has been transformed. "We show that atomic motion, which is typically treated as a source of unwanted noise in quantum systems, can be turned into a strength," said Adam Shaw in a statement on Caltech's website, a postdoctoral researcher and first author on the study. Instead of a disruptive influence, Shaw and colleagues have harnessed that movement to create hyper-entangled sets of atoms. Hyper-entanglement is distinct from traditional quantum entanglement, which describes two or more particles that are in-sync and share a property across vast distances. Hyper-entangled atoms, by contrast, can share multiple properties at the same time. In the experiment, the Caltech team was able to link both the states of motion and electronic states (a measure of an atom's internal energy level) in a pair of atoms at the same time. Related: Physicists create hottest Schrödinger's cat ever in quantum technology breakthrough This achievement is an important step in terms of both volume and efficiency, according to Manuel Endres, a professor of physics at Caltech and co-lead author of the study. "This allows us to encode more quantum information per atom," he said in the statement. "You get more entanglement with fewer resources." To achieve that state of hyper-entanglement, the team first had to cool an alkaline earth atom with no charge using a novel method that Endres said involved "detection and subsequent active correction of thermal motional excitations." By deploying this method, the team was able to almost completely freeze the atom's motion. The next step was to cause atoms to oscillate like a pendulum on a tiny scale in two different directions simultaneously, creating a state of superposition — when a particle exhibits opposite properties at the same time. These oscillating atoms were then entangled with partners that matched their motion, and finally hyper-entangled to also mirror their electronic states.

"We are essentially building a toolbox," he said. "We knew how to control the electrons within an atom, and we now learned how to control the external motion of the atom as a whole — it's like an atom toy that you have fully mastered." One of the most exciting facets of this discovery is the implication that even more states or properties could be entangled, which Endres said could lead to a number of potential applications. "Motional states could become a powerful resource for quantum technology, from computing to simulation to precision measurements."

MSU legacy, 3-star LB Adam Shaw schedules official visit for next month
MSU legacy, 3-star LB Adam Shaw schedules official visit for next month A Spartans legacy prospect in the 2026 class has locked in an official visit to Michigan State following a recent offer from the green-and-white. Linebacker Adam Shaw of Hillsdale, N.J. has reportedly locked in an official visit to Michigan State next month. Corey Robinson of 247Sports reported that Shaw will take his official visit on June 13. Shaw is a three-star linebacker prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He has a recruiting rating of 88 and is ranked as the No. 46 linebacker in 247Sports' rankings for the class. Shaw picked up an offer from Michigan State earlier this week, which was notable since he is a Michigan State legacy. Shaw's parents were both athletes at Michigan State. His dad, Scott, was an offensive lineman at Michigan State from 1994-1998, before getting drafted by the Miami Dolphins. His mother, Lisa, was also a great athlete herself at Michigan State. Shaw holds offers from nearly 20 schools, according to 247Sports. Some of the more notable programs to offer Shaw includes Rutgers, Pitt, James Madison, UConn, Old Dominion, Temple and UMass. Shaw also has official visits lined up with Rutgers on May 30 and Pitt on June 5. Rutgers is currently projected to land Shaw's commitment according to the 247Sports' experts, but the Spartans recent emergence in his recruitment could change things. Keep an eye out for the Spartans in Shaw's recruitment moving forward.

Spartan legacy gets offer from Michigan State as a linebacker
Michigan State football has found their latest prospect to offer in the 2026 recruiting class, and this time, it is a prospect with ties that are close to home. Adam Shaw was the recipient of the offer from Michigan State defensive coordinator Joe Rossi. A 6-foot-3, 205 pound linebacker from Hillsdale, New Jersey, Shaw's parents were both athletes at Michigan State. His dad, Scott, was an offensive lineman at MSU from 1994-1998, before getting drafted by the Miami Dolphins. His mother, Lisa, was also a great athlete herself at MSU. Advertisement Shaw currently ranks as an 88 rated 3-star prospect by 247Sports. He currently has official visits scheduled to both Rutgers and Pitt to open the official visit season, and while there is no indication if one is being scheduled to East Lansing, one would have to think that they will make it happen. Boston College is also in the mix. In high school, at Pascack Valley, Shaw excels as a dual threat quarterback, where he threw for 1,341 yards and rushed for 1,021 yards and accounted for 28 touchdowns. Although it is his defensive prowess at linebacker that has schools interested.
