Quantum Limits to the Measurement of Spacetime Geometry Speaker(s): Seth Lloyd
Abstract: This talk analyzes the limits that quantum mechanics imposes on the
accuracy to which spacetime geometry can be measured. By applying the
fundamental physical bounds to measurement accuracy ensembles of clocks
and signals, as in the global positioning system, I present a covari... read more

Quantum Life Speaker(s): Seth Lloyd
Abstract: Recent experimental evidence suggests that living organisms are using quantum mechanics in a sophisticated fashion to enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis. Bacteria are essentially performing a quantum computation to extract energy from light. I will show how plants and bacteria perform quantum ... read more

The Physics of Information: From Entanglement to Black Holes
Abstract: Do ideas about information and reality inspire fruitful new approaches to the hardest problems of modern physics? What can we learn about the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the beginning of the universe and our understanding of black holes by thinking about the very essence of information? The answ... read more

Programming the Universe Speaker(s): Seth Lloyd
Abstract: The universe computes: every atom, electron, and elementary particle registers bits of information, and every time two particles collide those bits are flipped and processed. By ‘hacking’ the computational power of the universe, we can build quantum computers which store and process information at... read more
