Relative States and the Environment
Speaker(s): Wojciech Zurek
Abstract: Everett explained “collapse of the wavepacket” by noting that observer will perceive the state of the measured quantum system relative to the state of his own records. Two elements (missing in this simple and compelling explanation of effective collapse) are required to complete relative state int... read more

Entanglement-assisted invariance, ignorance, and information in quantum physics
Speaker(s): Wojciech Zurek
Abstract: I shall discuss entanglement - assisted invariance (symmetry exhibited by correlated quantum states) and describe how it can be used to understand the nature of ignorance, and, hence, the origin of probabilities in quantum physics. WHZ, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 120404 (2003); Rev. Mod. Phys. 75, 715 (20... read more
