WE-Heraeus-Seminar — 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. 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.
