专家简介: Anton Zeilinger教授是奥地利科学院院长和美科院外籍院士，国际著名物理学家。其领导的研究组在光量子态调控与量子通信领域做出的一系列开创式和具有里程碑意义的工作，例如首次实验实现量子态的隐形传送（Quantum Teleportation），纠缠交换（Entanglement Swapping），提出和实现量子GHZ态，超长距离的量子通信和无漏洞的贝尔不等式验证等。他也是多个国际著名科学奖项的获得者，其中包括：the Wolf Prize, the King Faisal Prize of Science 和 the Newton Medal of the Institute of Physics等。
Abstract：
Quantum physics provides interesting conceptual puzzles. The basic fundamental ideas in the puzzles include quantum superposition (like in Schroedinger's cat), quantum entanglement (called by Einstein spooky action at a distance) and quantum randomness (viz. Einstein's comment that God does not play dice). To date, the same fundamental concepts just mentioned led to novel information science concepts and thus became the basis for the emerging quantum information technology which includes such concepts as quantum teleportation, and quantum computation. The future quantum internet will combine these ideas. It will consist of quantum computers connected by quantum links carrying photons. From a fundamental point of view, fundamental experiments have sharpened our basic questions about the nature of quantum systems.
