Engineering Applications of Quantum Entanglement

Abstract:
Although Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance", quantum entanglement has been demonstrated as a concrete physical phenomenon in 1980’s. Since then, a lot of research effort has been focused on how to harness the potential of entanglement in developing engineering application systems. Recent progress in this field involves application only at physical or device level. In this talk, however, we will show that entanglement can not only be used in physical layer, but also in high layer applications, including computation protocol and communication networks. In particular, we will discuss the possibility of performing entanglement based protocols on secure computation. Unlike their classical counterparts, the security of these protocols is based on physical laws, instead of any unproven mathematic conjecture.
