From Schrödinger's Cat to Quantum Information Technology

Astronomy Colloquium (2017 Fall Semester)

* Date: Nov 16
* Speaker: Hyunseok Jung (SNU Physics Department)
* Title: From Schrödinger’s Cat to Quantum Information Technology
* Abstract

In this talk, I will review and discuss fundamental issues in quantum mechanics such as quantum superposition, Schrödinger’s cat paradox, quantum entanglement, decoherence, and Bell’s Theorem. These discussions will lead to various topics in modern quantum information technology such as quantum computation and communication.
