SUMMARY:Quantum Entanglement for Fun and Profit: 101 Uses for Schroedi
 nger's Cat\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Paul Kwiat\, University o
 f Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 80 years after Schroedinger described entanglement 
 as the quintessential nonclassical phenomenon\, and 50 years after Bel
 l showed the inconsistency of quantum correlations with local realism\
 , the quantum information revolution seeks to use its almost magical p
 roperties to enable new feats in information processing.  As we shall 
 see\, entanglement can now be produced at high rates with exquisite pr
 ecision\, enabling unprecedented tests of nonlocality and such feats a
 s quantum cryptography and teleportation.  I will describe some of the
 se miracles\, and our investigations into how the usual benefits can b
 e further extended\, by using more complex quantum states (e.g.\, hype
 r-entanglement ). Time and appetites permitting\, I may give a brief l
 esson in quantum cooking.
