高兆兰讲座十四（1月2日14:30-15:30）：反常识量子通信

主持人：廖泽阳副教授

报告简介： 在很长时间以来，人们通常认为要在两个实体之间实现信息的交流，一定需要有物理粒子在两个实体之间传递。在这个报告里面，我们将讨论如何利用链式的量子芝诺效应来实现两个实体之间的无物理粒子传递的通讯。It has long been assumed in physics that for information to travel between two parties in empty space, physical particles have to travel between them. Here, using the ‘‘chained’’ quantum Zeno effect, we show how information can be transferred between the two parties without any physical particles traveling between them.

报告人简介：M. Suhail Zubairy目前是美国德州农工大学的校杰出教授和Munnerlyn-Heep量子光学讲席教授，也是华中科技大学的国家级人才项目讲座教授。Zubairy教授1978年博士毕业于美国罗彻斯特大学，师从物理光学泰斗Emil Wolf. 在2000年加入德州农工大学之前，他是巴基斯坦真纳大学电子系的教授和创系主任。他的主要研究兴趣包括量子光学和激光物理，到目前为止已经在超精密显微和刻蚀技术，量子计算，无噪声放大和原子相干等领域发表超过300篇学术论文。他是量子光学经典教材和量子计算器件两本书的作者。他已经获得了很多荣誉和奖项，包括激光和量子光学领域的兰姆奖，洪堡研究奖，伊斯兰国家杰出物理学者奖，萨拉姆物理奖，伊朗总统颁发的夸瑞兹密奖，巴基斯坦总统颁发的Hilal-e-Imtiaz and Sitara-e-Imtiaz勋章和乔治布什总统国际研究奖等。他同时也是巴基斯坦科学院院士，美国物理学会会士和美国光学学会会士。M. Suhail Zubairy is a University Distinguished Professor of Physics and the holder of the Munnerlyn-Heep Chair in Quantum Optics at the Texas A&M University. He was a Changjiang Distinguished Professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1978. He served as Professor of Electronics and the founding Chairman of the Department of Electronics at the Quaid-i-Azam University before joining Texas A&M University in 2000. Prof. Zubairy’s research interests include quantum optics and laser physics. He has published over 300 research papers on topics such as precision microscopy and lithography, quantum computing, noise-free amplification, and atomic coherence effects. He is the co-author of two books, one on Quantum Optics and the other on Quantum Computing Devices. He has received many honors including the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics, Alexander von Humboldt Research Prize, the Outstanding Physicist Award from the Organization of Islamic Countries, the Abdus Salam Prize in Physics, the International Khwarizmi Award from the President of Iran, the Orders of Hilal-e-Imtiaz and Sitara-e-Imtiaz from the President of Pakistan, and the George H. W. Bush Award for Excellence in International Research. He is an elected member of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
