Quantum Teleportation (for Dogs)

Category: PhysicsPhysics with EmmyQuantum OpticsSFScience
Posted on: February 18, 2008 10:47 AM, by Chad Orzel

I gave a talk at Boskone in the prime Sunday 10 am slot, on quantum teleportation. I read the opening dialogue from Chapter 8 of the book, and then did a half-hour (or so) explanation of the real physics behind quantum teleportation.

If you weren't one of the thirty-ish people who watched at least part of the presentation, you don't know what you missed. But you can get a little flavor of it by looking at the PDF version of my PowerPoint slides (1.1 MB). I think they're mostly comprehensible on their own, but even if they're not, there are cute dog pictures galore. So, you know, there's that.

The first three or four pictures go with the dog dialogue, which I may reproduce here as a blog post later. Or not. You'll just have to wait and see.

As one of the thirty-ish, let me say that it was a terrific talk. Especially the dog voice.

Based only on the ppt, it must have been great!
