Nobel Physics Prize Awarded to Trio for Work in Quantum Technology
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Tuesday to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger as joint winners for their work in quantum computing.
Aspect and Zeilinger helped confirm Clauser's 1972 paper, proving Niels Bohr was correct in the debate between Bohr and Einstein on the question of quantum entanglement.
In layman's terms, if particles were once part of a system, they will have instant "awareness" of each other's "state", even when separated by extremely large distances.
This lays down a good foundation for things like quantum encryption, and massively distributed computing.
