90 Years of Einstein‐Podolsky‐Rosen Paradox: Foundations and Applications

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, introduced in 1935, challenged the completeness of quantum mechanics and reshaped our understanding of reality and nonlocality. It inspired key breakthroughs in the field, including Schr¨odinger’s concept of entanglement and Bell’s theorem, which proved the incompatibility of quantum mechanics with both realism and locality.
Today, the EPR argument remains a cornerstone of quantum information science.
As we celebrate the first 90 years of EPR, this seminar will examine the paradox from
both theoretical and experimental perspectives, covering topics such as quantum correlations, entanglement, Bell nonlocality, and quantum measurement theory. It will also highlight the paradox’s role in emerging quantum technologies, including quantum cryptography, secure communication, and metrology. 
In addition to scientific discussions, the seminar will reflect on the historical and philosophical impact of the EPR argument, as well as experimental breakthroughs such as using EPR correlations for benchmarking quantum devices and ensuring high-security quantum key distribution.
This seminar will bring together leading experts, early-career researchers, and PhD students to explore the foundational significance, recent developments, and future directions of the EPR paradox. By fostering scientific exchange between senior and junior researchers, the event aims to inspire new research directions and collaborations. Contributed talks and poster sessions will provide a platform for young scientists to engage with leading experts, ensuring a dynamic and productive exchange of ideas

The conference language will be English. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation bears the cost of full-board accommodation for all participants.
