What Makes Quantumness?

Asma Al-Qasimi
University of Rochester

Abstract

In this talk, I will introduce entanglement, the "golden child" in the field of quantum information, considered by many to be THE real signature of quantumness, which when used efficiently should give us powerful quantum computers. I will discuss related concepts, quantifications, and studies in physical systems, highlighting open questions in the field.

Coffee, tea will be served in STI 501 before the colloquium.
