Talk quantum to me

While Albert Einstein was convinced that “God does not play dice with the universe”, quantum physics experiments seem to tell that intrinsic randomness exists. I will address this question in the context of quantum entanglement experiments that I have performed during my career.
I will then explain how these concepts relate to the philosophical worldview of local realism and the potential use of entanglement for future quantum technologies. Finally I will also show how human “free will” can be useful for quantum entanglement experiments.

Since its theoretical foundations were established in the early 20th century, the
harnessing of quantum physics has transformed the world around us: lasers, MRI
scanners, and nuclear energy are some of its prominent applications.
The ever-increasing level of control of quantum objects has led to a new promise:
harnessing quantum entanglement to build machines that can perform
calculations faster. This quantum effect, once dismissed as “crazy” by prominent
physicists, is now at the heart of the development of so-called quantum
computers.
