Complementarity: Is it intrinsic or measurement related?

April 17, 2023 @ 11:30 am 12:30 pm

IQSE AMO QO Seminar Series

Pizza will be served for IQSE members at 11:00 am. The talk will start around 11:30 am.

Speaker: Dr. János A. Bergou

Venue: IQSE SEMINAR ROOM (MPHY 578)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Research Interests

  • Quantum optics, quantum information, measurements, foundations

EVENT DETAILS: I’ll briefly review the now 100-year-old history of wave-particle duality, which started with the famous Einstein-Bohr debate gradually evolved into a full complementarity relation. Wave-like and particle-like behavior have their classical analogs. We have shown that besides these two classical realities there is a genuine quantum reality: entanglement, which is the most important resource for many applications. These three realities add up to a complete complementarity relation, now not a duality but a triality relation, and fully exhaust the information content of a quantum state. I’ll discuss how much of this relation is intrinsic to the quantum state and how much is measurement related.
