Physics Nobel goes to trio for experiments with entangled photons

The Nobel prize in physics was awarded to Alain Facet, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger on Tuesday “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum info science.”

The laureates “have carried out groundbreaking experiments utilizing entangled quantum states, the place two particles behave like a single unit even when they’re separated,” the Nobel Committee mentioned. “The outcomes have cleared the best way for brand new know-how based mostly upon quantum info.”
