From Einstein's doubts to quantum technologies: non-locality in action

Alain Aspect, National Centre for Scientific Research

As pointed out by Einstein and confirmed by the violation of Bell’s inequalities, entanglement of separated particles is an extraordinary feature of quantum mechanics, suggesting some kind of non-locality. It is now used in quantum technologies.
After presenting the Einstein Bohr debate and Bell’s inequalities with their experimental tests, I will show how the notion of non-locality provides fruitful intuitions for some quantum communication methods.
