Three scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work on quantum entanglement. The prize was announced on Tuesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm..
The laureates are Alain Aspect of the University of Paris-Saclay and École Polytechnique, John F. Clauser of J.F. Clauser & Associates, and Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna..
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles are linked in such a way that the state of one particle can instantly affect the state of the other, even if they are separated by a large distance. This phenomenon has been studied for decades, but it was not until the work of Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger that it was fully understood..
In their experiments, Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger showed that quantum entanglement is a real phenomenon and that it cannot be explained by any classical theory. Their work has laid the foundation for a new field of physics called quantum information science, which has the potential to revolutionize the way we communicate and compute..
The Nobel Prize in Physics is one of the most prestigious awards in science. It is awarded annually to scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of physics. The prize is worth 10 million Swedish kronor (about $1.1 million)..
In a statement, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that the work of Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger .
