Mark Gurevitch Memorial Lecture Series

Tuesday May 21, 2013
5:00 PM

The 2013 Gurevitch Lecture features Dr. Anton Zeilinger.
Quantum Experiments with Photons: From the Foundations towards a New Technology

Abstract:
In the talk I will start with a brief introductory review of some important fundamental concepts in the foundations of quantum physics like superposition, the measurement process, and entanglement. Then, focusing on photons,  I show how these have given rise to the field of quantum information. I will present recent experiments on long distance quantum teleportation, on other nonlocal phenomena, and on optical quantum computation.
