Grupo de trabajo ICMAT-IFT: El Rincón de Shannon

Abstract:
The debates between Einstein and Bohr on the foundations of quantum mechanics culminated in one of the most iconic statements in the history of physics: “God does not play dice.”
In their seminal 1935 paper, Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen argued that if locality is to be maintained, then quantum mechanics must be incomplete.
In this talk, I will present a concise overview of the original EPR argument, Bell’s theorem and its experimental confirmation. I will then explore quantum non-locality through the framework of XOR games, highlighting their connections to foundational questions in mathematics.
