Abstract
As pointed out by Einstein, and confirmed by the violation of Bell’s inequalities, entanglement of separated particles is an extraordinary feature of quantum mechanics, suggesting some kind of non-locality. It is now used in quantum technologies.
After presenting the Einstein Bohr debate and Bell’s inequalities with their experimental tests, I will show how the notion of non-locality provides fruitful intuitions for some quantum communication methods.
