Measuring the Metaphysical

Author: Gaurav Gautam Duration: 20 min Date: 31/1/14 Quantum Theory is strange, to such an extent that even Albert Einstein couldnt accept it. Sayings to the eect that- if one is not troubled by Quantum Theory, then (s)he doesnt understand it, are rampant. But with three (possibly more in some cases) courses down in Quantum Mechanics, the strangeness wears o and a new intuition is cultivated. The goal of the presentation is to bring some of that unease with QM back.We will begin with the EPR paradox. This will be followed by a discussion on the Bells inequality and the GHZ experiment. The experiments will be discussed in an accessible unconventional manner, followed by a mathematical treatment to the extent that time permits.
