The award recognises advances in quantum mechanics which describes nature at the sub-atomic scale.
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics rewards research into quantum mechanics - the science that describes nature at the smallest scales.Their work could open the way to a new generation of powerful computers and telecommunications systems that are impossible to break into.This three laureates conducted ground-breaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two sub-atomic particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated.
"Quantum information science is a vibrant and rapidly developing field," commented Eva Olsson, a member of the Nobel Committee for Physics. "It has broad and potential implications in areas such as secure information transfer, quantum computing, and sensing technology." Alain Aspect, 75, is affiliated to the Université Paris-Saclay and École Polytechnique, Palaiseau. John Clauser, 79, runs his own company in California. Anton Zeilinger, 77, is attached to the University of Vienna.Anton Zeilinger got an early morning call to tell him he'd won. "It was very kind to receive your phone call just about an hour ago, and I'm still kind of shocked, but it's a very positive shock.
Last year's Physics Nobel was given to three scientists who advanced our understanding of complex systems - in particular, Earth's climate.
