SUMMARY:"Testing Bell’s Inequality with Astrophysical Observations"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring David Kaiser\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\
	nHosted by: So-Young Pi\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/down
	load/Kaiser-Poster.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\
	n\nAlbert Einstein once dubbed quantum entanglement "spooky action at a dis
	tance\," and the concept remains one of the starkest examples of how quantu
	m theory differs from our usual intuitions about space\, time\, and matter.
	 Physicists have tested Bell’s inequality experimentally over four decade
	s and have always found the results consistent with quantum theory; today e
	ntanglement is at the heart of next-generation devices like quantum compute
	rs and quantum encryption. Yet every experimental test to date has been sub
	ject to one or more "loopholes\," which could possibly account for the resu
	lts even in the absence of genuine quantum entanglement. This talk describe
	s the latest experimental tests of quantum entanglement\, including a new s
	eries of experiments that uses some of the oldest light in the universe to 
	address the last major loophole and pave the way for a genuinely loophole-f
	ree test of Bell’s inequality.
