Our Quantum Society: Living with Entanglement

Visit http://cqcs.berkeley.edu for future events and information on how you can participate.

This panel was hosted by the Center for Quantum Coherent Science at UC Berkeley on Monday, November 7, 2016 in the Sibley Auditorium, Bechtel Engineering Center. Over 300 people attended.

Summary
Quantum mechanics continues to stretch the limits of human thought by asserting that two objects can be entangled such that a probe of one automatically yields information about the other, even if they are at opposite ends of the universe. Already observed in the spin properties of atoms and the polarization of photons of light, generating entanglement in bulk at the macroscopic scale may lead to unparalleled computing power and new frontiers in metrology. At a yet larger cosmic scale, this same entanglement which once troubled the architect of the theory of general relativity, Einstein, is now postulated to be the thread that in many cases stitches the fabric of the universe. In this forum, we will explore the evolution of quantum entanglement, its role in cutting-edge quantum technologies, and directions for future development.
