报告摘要：
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：
Muhammad Suhail Zubairy, distinguished
Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Texas A&M
University and the inaugural holder of the Munnerlyn-Heep Chair in Quantum
Optics, the Changjiang Distinguished Chair at Huazhong University of Science
and Technology. Prof. Zubairy received his Ph.D. from the University of
Rochester in 1978 working under the supervision of Prof. Emil Wolf. He held
research and teaching appointments at the Optical Sciences Center of the
University of Arizona and the Center for Advanced Studies at the University of
New Mexico before joining the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan in
1984. He served as Professor of Electronics and the founding Chairman of the
Department of Electronics at the Quaid-i-Azam University. In 2000 he joined
Texas A and M University where he is presently a University Distinguished
Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the holder of the Munnerlyn-Heep
Chair in Quantum Optics.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. Prof. Zubairy"s research interests
include quantum optics and laser physics. He has been interested in quantum
optical applications to quantum computing and quantum informatics. He has also
been interested in quantum state measurement of the radiation field and sub-wavelength
atom localization, coherent atomic effects and quantum thermodynamics. He is
the co-author of two books, one on Quantum Optics and the other on Quantum
Computing Devices, which are the classical books in this field. He has
published over 300 research papers on a wide variety of research problems
relating to theoretical physics. His research work has been widely recognized
by the physics community.
