Hi Everyone,
We'll hold our weekly LQS meeting at 2 PM Eastern this Thursday,
January 21. If time permits, we'll discuss the article by Mermin on the GHZ
experiment (see below; it's also attached) to this message.
Info:
dial-in: 510-665-5437, passcode 7336
website: http://dmtpc.mit.edu/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=260
Agenda:
1) Round-table reports and updates on activities.
2) Paper discussion: "What's Wrong with these elements of reality?"
by David Mermin (Physics Today, vol 43, June 1990, p. 9).
This paper reviews the GHZ experiment (Greeberger, Horne, and Zeilinger)
which is an easier to follow version non-localith than both Bell and
EPR provide (at least, according to some). There is a related video by
Sidney Coleman on the web called Quantum Mechanics In Your Face at

Thank you,
