“Quantum Entanglement in High Energy Physics” Edited by Yale Professor Oliver K. Baker Now Published - Video Interview

Last week, "Quantum Entanglement in High Energy Physics" was released, edited by Prof. Oliver K. Baker, the distinguished D. Allan Bromley Professor of Physics at Yale University, well-known for his contributions to the discovery of the Higgs boson and his work on dark matter.

Prof. Baker has received numerous awards, including teaching accolades and the Edward Bouchet Award from the American Physical Society, to name a few, for his contributions to nuclear and particle physics research. 

The book is organised into three main sections: theory, experiments, and interdisciplinary research, featuring contributions from scientists from different countries, such as the USA, Scotland, England, Finland, South Korea, Portugal, the Philippines, Poland, Denmark, Morocco, and others.

Reflecting on the book and the field, Prof. Baker highlights its focus, stating: "These are exciting times in the field of quantum information science, with new research results and their applications in society exhibiting themselves rather frequently. But what is even more exciting is that the frequency of these new results and their applications increases with a rapidity that will motivate new methods, new theories, new experiments, and new collaborations outside of the field that future researchers will find quite challenging."

To complement the book's release, an accompanying video interview with Prof. Baker is available. In the interview, he discusses the motivations behind his research, his collaborative work with students and peers, and some innovative applications of quantum entanglement featured in the book.

Prof. Baker's insightful reflections capture the dynamic essence of the field, emphasising the rapid progress of advancements and their potential to inspire innovative approaches, theories, experiments, and interdisciplinary collaborations that will shape the future of quantum information science.
