Title: Simulating Quantum Paradoxes with MATLAB

Abstract: There are numerous quantum paradoxes that arise from Quantum Mechanics.  Most of these paradoxes can be simulated on a computer.  A set of basic Quantum Information MATLAB routines were written.  These routines are explained and will be demonstrated with MATLAB on a laptop computer.  These routines are then used to simulate various quantum paradoxes.  Teleportation, Dense Coding, Grover's algorithm, the mean King's problem, and Pseudo-Telepathy will be demonstrated. 

About the Author: Michael Steiner joined the Naval Research Laboratory's Radar Division in 1988.   He received his BSEE (1986) Drexel University, MSEE (1988) and PhD (1994) from the University of Maryland, College Park.  His advanced degrees are in Communication and Information theory.  He currently is conducting research on the use of EIT for slow light applications, on entanglement in light-matter interaction, and on the Measurement Problem.  Dr. Steiner also contributes in the area of Radar Signal Processing and Radar Systems and was the recipient of the 2000 IEEE AES Young Engineer of the Year Award.
