Quantum theory is inherently statistical. This entails repetition of experiments over a number of identically prepared quantum objects, if one wants to know the "true state" or the "true value" of the parameter that specifies the quantum state. In applications, one needs to design the estimation procedure in such a way that the estimated value of the parameter should be close to the true value (consistency), and that the uncertainty of the estimated value should be as small as possible (efficiency).

An exciting week-long program offered to Canadian students in grades 10 to 12.
The Quantum Cryptography School for Young Students (QCSYS) is an exciting week-long program offered to Canadian students in Grades 10-12. This year the program will run through August 13-17, 2012. The program is run by the Institute for Quantum Computing in conjunction with the University of Waterloo.

Title: - All entangled quantum states are nonlocal: equivalence between locality and separability in quantum theory
In this talk I will show how, by slightly modifying the rules of
nonlocal games, one can prove that all entangled states violate local
realism.
