Speciaal voor A-Eskwadraat komt prof. dr. Ronald Hanson van het QuTech and Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft naar Utrecht om een lezing te geven over quantumteleportatie: 

“Beam me up!” is the famous line from Star Trek that has become part of popular culture. The teleportation machine has been started to make a person disappear at one place and re-appear at another place. Although the laws of nature put severe constraints on the possibilities of such teleportation, those same laws allow for a form of teleportation that works in an even stranger fashion. That teleportation exploits the invisible link that can make particles behave as one, even when they are far apart. This phenomenon - called entanglement - has been subject of debate among physicists for 80 years. Interestingly, two of quantum mechanics’ founding fathers, Schroedinger and Einstein, were the first to analyze entanglement in search for proof of the incompleteness of quantum theory. In this talk I will discuss the basics of entanglement and teleportation. I will present a recent experiment on teleportation between two chips in Delft and finally speculate how entanglement may change our lives in the coming 20 years through quantum computing and a quantum Internet.
