Quantum Entanglement (SciCast #477) (2022x11)

Air date: Mar 18, 2022

Much has been said these days about so-called quantum technologies (quantum cryptography, teleportation, quantum computing, random number generators, sensing, etc.). These technologies (perhaps) have a lot to add to human progress. But what makes quantum technology, for example a quantum computer, so special? What quantum properties are so “bizarre” and useful for these technologies? In this episode we will unravel Quantum Entanglement, something so counterintuitive that it ended up becoming a paradox in the hands of none other than Einstein, who in 1935 questioned whether Quantum Mechanics was complete or not.
