This year’s Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to Alain Aspect of France, John F. Clauser of the US, and Anton Zeilinger of Austria for their work on quantum information science. Hans Ellegren, secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, announced the winners Tuesday at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, reports the AP. Per a release, the three scientists are being celebrated for their «groundbreaking» work involving entangled quantum states, in which two particles still act as one unit even when separated.
