Alain Aspect The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 Born: 15 June 1947, Agen, France Affiliation at the time of the award: Institut d’Optique Graduate School – Université Paris-Saclay, Paris, France, École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France Prize motivation: “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” Work The ability of two or more particles to coexist in what is referred to as an entangled state is one of the most amazing features of quantum physics. Even if two particles are far away, what happens to one of them in an entangled pair affects what happens to the other particle. Using entangled light particles, or photons, Anton Zeilinger carried out ground-breaking experiments in 1997 and 1998. These and other tests support the validity of quantum physics and open the door to quantum networks, computers, and encrypted communicat
