Time travel is, of course, impossible. (Probably.) But in quantum information theory, entanglement and quantum teleportation look almost like time travel, and we may be tempted to use that sort of idea to understand them. How far can we push such a wacky point of view? What happens when a qubit interacts with its past self? How do the rules of quantum mechanics keep us all safe from time-travel paradoxes? Join us and find out!
Professor of Physics Ben Schumacher will give this exciting presentation on Friday, Sept. 30, from 12 - 1 p.m. in Hayes Hall 211/213. Lunch will be available in Hayes 203 from 11:45 to 12:15. We hope to see you then!
