The New Quantum Age: From Bell’s Theorem to Quantum Computation and Teleportation

Andrew Whitaker (Professor of Physics, Professor of Physics, Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland)

While quantum theory has been used to study the physical universe with great profit, both intellectual and financial, ever since its discovery eighty-five years ago, over the last fifty years we have found out more and more about the theory itself, and what it tells us about the universe. It seems we may have to accept non-locality - cause and effect may be light-years apart; loss of realism - nature may be fundamentally probabilistic; and non-determinism - it seems that God does play dice!
