What is quantum entanglement?
Abstract
Since it was first noted by Schrodinger, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, quantum entanglement has played very important role in quantum information theory and foundations of quantum mechanics, it's considered to be one of the deepest aspects of quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement plays a central role in realizing quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum computer. Although quantum entanglement is very fundamental and useful, it is also mysterious. I shall try to uncover some mysterious aspects of quantum entanglement with respect to our own work. My presentation will focus on the physical interpretation of entanglement, separability criterion and the basic types of quantum entanglement. There are more questions to be solved than questions which are solved.
