Quantum Physics

I was primarily involved in "weird" quantum physics, as the links on my page will show. Besides revelling at the latest quantum technological feats, I am interested in the EPR experiment/paradox (and its various ramifications), the nature of quantum measurement and interpretations of the quantum formalism.

Papers

• The Original "Schroedinger's Cat" Paper
• Introduction to Quantum Computing by Daniel James. Excellent, well-illustrated introduction to quantum computing.
• The Tao of Interation-free Measurement by Paul Kwiat: interesting, novel approach to exploit quantum physics to see without looking.
• Download Introduction to Quantum Cryptoanalysis by Artur Ekert
• Download A paper by Anton Zeilinger on the interpretation of quantum mechanics
• Download One of David Elm's papers on the EPR paradox and Bell's Inequality
• Download Paper by F.A. Wolf about the relationship of conscious experience to physical reality.
