Light at the heart of the second quantum revolution
summary
Alain Aspect’s 1980s experiments showed entangled photons exist, contradicting Einstein, which triggered a second quantum revolution. The talk explains how light-based quantum technologies — quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and ultra-sensitive sensors — arise from entanglement and its applications.
