This lecture takes place at the School of Physics in Geneva, focusing on quantum communication, particularly quantum teleportation. The process involves making an object disappear from one place and reappear in another without existing in between, utilizing the concept of intrication in quantum physics. The instructor explains how this phenomenon works and clarifies that the structure of the object disappears during teleportation. The lecture describes an experiment conducted in Geneva where a light particle was teleported by creating entangled photons and transferring the structure to another photon. The potential applications of quantum physics, such as cryptography for secure messaging, are also discussed, drawing parallels to the early days of electricity and magnetism research.
