Speaker: prof. UAM. dr hab Karol Bartkiewicz
This lecture explores fundamental quantum mechanical paradoxes that challenge classical physics intuitions and enable modern quantum technologies. We will examine non-locality, contextuality, entanglement, and quantum steering through both theoretical frameworks and experimental demonstrations.
The presentation will cover the EPR paradox [1] questioning quantum completeness, Bell’s theorem [2] and its experimental verification [3,4], the GHZ paradox [5] as a direct contradiction to local realism, and the Kochen-Specker theorem [6] demonstrating quantum contextuality. We will introduce different measures of entanglement [7] and examine quantum steering [8] as an intermediate phenomenon introduced in response to the EPR paper.
The lecture concludes with practical applications of these “paradoxical” quantum properties in quantum cryptography [9], teleportation [10], and quantum computing [11,12]. Finally, we will refer to some recent results obtained at AMU by the members of the Department of Quantum Information in this field.
