Entanglement: Schr\u00f6dinger’s Quirky Quantum Conundrum<\/strong><\/p>\n

In quantum mechanics, one can have complete knowledge of the whole but complete ignorance of the parts. \u00a0This phenomenon, famously discovered by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen, was subsequently christened entanglement<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0Schr\u00f6dinger. \u00a0This first talk will introduce this quirky phenomenon and its\u00a0application to quantum communication, cryptography, computing, and experimental metaphysics.<\/p>\n

Entanglement in Superconducting Quantum Circuits<\/strong><\/p>\n

Superconducting circuits can be used to control electrical signals at the level of single quanta. \u00a0Such devices have shown energy level quantization, superposition of states, and may one day serve as quantum bits (qubits) in a large-scale quantum computer. \u00a0This second talk will describe my research in the design and study of multi-qubit entanglement in superconducting circuits.<\/p>\n
