Bell's Theorem
Jitendra Prakash
University of Waterloo
The grad student colloquium talk was given on November 29th, 2017 at the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

Abstract:
Bell's theorem is one of the celebrated cornerstones in physics, being described as "the most profound discovery of science". In this talk we shall discuss this theorem from a mathematical perspective, and as an example we shall derive the CHSH inequality. We shall also see what more general questions this theorem raises. Knowledge of physics is not required, however some basic linear algebra will be used.
