Photodetection and Locality

SPEAKER: Prof. Ian Percival, University of LondonABSTRACT: Locality follows from classical relativistic dynamics. Nonlocality
follows from quantum theory with ideal quantum measurements, but
has never been demonstrated experimentally without a further
assumption. For the experiment of Zeilinger, Weihs and their collaborators
(ZW), this was 'fair sampling'. We investigate this assumption and
conclude that further experiments and theory are needed.Joint work with Barry Garraway.BIO: Ian Percival is Professor of Physics at Queen Mary, University of
London. He has worked on theoretical atomic physics, chaos theory, quantum state diffusion, and his main interest at present is in theoretical and experimental aspects of Bell inequalities.Host: Prof. Todd Brun, tbrun@usc.edu
