"How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love Entanglement"

Lecture room A, F building
Dip. di Fisica - via Valerio, 2 – Trieste

ABSTRACT
Quantum entanglement was famously described by A. Einstein as giving 
raise to a “spooky action at a distance”. With the advent of quantum 
information processing, that is, with the harnessing of quantum 
properties to implement all kinds of tasks — involving communication, 
computation, measurement, … — the status of entanglement has changed: it 
has moved from that of puzzling — and potentially “scary” —  quantum 
feature to that of resource to be characterized, quantified, 
manipulated, and ultimately exploited. In this talk I will review some 
recent aspects of my research on the operational characterization of 
correlations, through which I learned to stop worrying and love 
entanglement as key concept to understand nature and quantum mechanics.
