An Introduction to Quantum Entanglement
According to Erwin Scrödinger, “entanglement is the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics.” Indeed, entangled quantum states possess properties unparalleled in classical physics, including the spooky nonlocal interactions that sparked fierce debate in the early twentieth century. This presentation will explain what it means for states to be entangled, outline some of entanglement’s startling implications, and discuss the possible applications of entangled states in computing and communication.
