Title:	From Einstein to Quantum Information
Speaker:	Anton Zeilinger (Institute of Experimental Physics, Vienna)
Date:	15th October, 2004

Abstract:
Albert Einstein criticised quantum mechanics for various reasons, most notably randomness, for entanglement, and for its denial of classical reality. Interestingly just the points that worried Einstein have led to new experiments, and to ideas of a new information technology. Anton Zeilinger discusses recent experiments on quantum interference of macromolecules including biomolecules, on quantum teleportation, on multi-photon entanglement based quantum computation, and on the possibilities of world wide quantum communication.

About the Speaker:
Anton Zeilinger is a physicist who has held teaching and research positions at M.I.T., the Universities of Innsbruck and Oxford, at the Technical Universities of Vienna and Munich and at the College de France in Paris. Presently he is a Professor of Physics at the University of Vienna.

His work has received world-wide attention, most notably his first realization of quantum teleportation and most recently for quantum interference experiments with buckyball molecules, the largest objects ever to have demonstrated quantum phenomena. In terms of research, his next goal is to extend the validity of quantum phenomena experimentally to the realm of even larger objects and perhaps even to life itself.
