The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger for their groundbreaking experiments in quantum mechanics. Their pioneering work laid the foundation for new technology based on quantum information. Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger conducted experiments that demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum entanglement, which Albert Einstein dismissed as “spooky action at a distance.” Their experiments showed that tiny particles can be linked or “entangled” with each other even when separated by large distances. This paved the way for rapidly developing fields like quantum computing, quantum networks, and secure quantum encrypted communication. The Nobel committee praised their work for allowing “entirely new quantum technology” and said their experiments “cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information.”
