  1. Entanglement and Coherent Control

  2. Entanglement and Coherent Control Coherent Control. objectives:Control of future events. Tools: Use quantum interference between material waves.

  3. Entanglement and Coherent Control Coherent Control. objectives:Control of future events. Tools: Use quantum interference between material waves. Weaccess the same final state using more than one pathway. Lacking the “which way” information these pathways interfere.

  4. Entanglement and Coherent Control Coherent Control. objectives:Control of future events. Tools: Use quantum interference between material waves. Weaccess the same final state using more than one pathway. Lacking the “which way” information these pathways interfere. Interference is not enough. In order to achieve control we need to “tune” this interference, and this is done with photons.

  14. The key to control is that the interference patterns of different outcomes be shifted in phase. A-B + C the “screen” of relative phases A + B-C - is favored

  15. A-B + C A + B-C - is favored

  16. A-B + C A + B-C -is favored

  17. A-B + C A + B-C -is favored
