Speaker: Joseph Eberly, Dept. of Physics, University of Rochester
Subject: Quantum Mechanics and Weird Quantum Optics
Optics is probably the oldest combination of physical science and technology. It was also the first to permit a laboratory demonstration that quantum weirdness is inevitable in nature. Extremely simple optical concepts can be turned into puzzles and paradoxes, and the talk will describe one or two of them, as well as the development of a new category of interferometers designed to reveal them.
