Bristol Benjamin Meaker Distinguished Visiting Professor Lev Vaidman, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
G.10, 43 Woodland Road
The controversial issue of information transfer in quantum teleportation procedure is analyzed in the framework of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the claims of Deutsch & Hayden 2000, it is argued that quantum information, considered as a measurable property for an observer in a particular world, is transferred in a nonlocal way in teleportation process. This, however, does not lead to action at a distance on the level of the universe which includes all parallel worlds.
The speaker, Professor Lev Vaidman is based at Tel Aviv University in Israel, and is one of the leading physicists in the field of foundations of quantum mechanics. Professor Vaidman is collaborating with Professor Sandu Popscu in the School of Physics on Research on the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information.
