Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger are the winners of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. It was awarded “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”.
Each of the scientists has conducted groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated. The obtained results have cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information.
