Continuing on what Chris Fuchs presented on March 19, We now have Bill Wootters from Williams College. For those of you who enjoyed what Gilles Brassard presented a couple of months ago, this week's talk is closely related.

ABSTRACT:

"Entanglement" is the potential of quantum states to exhibit correlations that cannot be accounted for classically. In recent years entanglement has come to be regarded not merely as a bizarre feature of quantum mechanics but also as a useful and quantifiable resource. This talk discusses the quantification of entanglement and the relation between entanglement and the transmission of quantum information. The talk will also present a number of unsolved problems.
