Physics Nobel Prize in a superposition between three quantum physicists
Physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics this week for performing breakthrough quantum entanglement experiments.
The nature of entanglement was fiercely debated among physicists. Some thought information could not travel faster than the light and there must be some other process impacting the particles in the system while others believed the weird phenomena showed a breakdown in classical physics, paving the way for quantum mechanics.
The trio of boffins who bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics this week did so, we're told,"for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science." That means they proved quantum entangled was an inherent property of the particles; that hidden variables do not impact the outcome of measurements.
