Alain Aspect - From Einstein to Wheeler: wave particle duality for a photon
IQC's Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture Series presents Alain Aspect, professor at Institut d'Optique in Palaiseau, France
Since the early days of quantum mechanics, as emphasized in Feynman's lectures on physics, interference between spatially separated trajectories of a single particle has not ceased to fascinate physicists. I will present experiments realized with a true single photon source, which have allowed us to emphasize the weirdness of the concept of wave particle duality, at the root of the quantum revolution of the early 20th century. Such single photon sources are now an important resource in the domain of quantum information.
