This year Dr. Ghose has graciously created a lecture of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and the Nature of Reality

This lecture will be held on Tuesday November 17th in the Art's building C-wing, Room 2C17 at 4 pm
 

Abstract of Lecture

In 1935 Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen wrote a seminal paper in which
they discussed a thought experiment that led them to question the
theory of quantum mechanics. The paradox arose from the fact that in
quantum mechanics, measurements of one member of a correlated
(entangled) pair of objects seem to instantaneously affect the other
member, no matter how far away - an effect Einstein called 'spooky
action at a distance'. The EPR paradox led to much scientific and
philosophical debate regarding the interpretation of quantum
mechanics, causality and the nature of reality. This talk will
describe the EPR paradox, the idea of quantum entanglement and
practical tests that were devised to resolve the paradox. I will also
discuss the new interest in entanglement as a resource for quantum
computing and communication.
