| Description: | Entanglement and non-locality are non-classical global characteristics of quantum states that bear directly on the foundations of Quantum Mechanics. The recent investigations of my research group have explored the extent to which these characteristics are susceptible to the influence of local noise sources and how their degradation properties can differ from that of decoherence arising from that very same mechanism. In particular, I will discuss our results showing that in all the quantum systems in which these phenomena have been considered entanglement and Bell non-locality can be entirely destroyed in finite time when decoherence is lost only in the infinite time limit for some classes of initial state. Refreshments will be served in Olin Hall 118 at 3:40 P.M. |
