The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded jointly to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Tuesday.
The prize was awarded to the three scientists "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science," the Nobel Committee said in a statement.
Aspect, born in 1947 in France's Agen, is a professor at Paris-Saclay University. Clauser, 80, is a research physicist at J.F. Clauser and Associates in the United States. Zeilinger, 77, serves as a professor at the University of Vienna.
The laureates' development of experimental tools has "laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology," the committee said, adding that the ability to "manipulate and manage quantum states and all their layers of properties gives us access to tools with unexpected potential."
"The 2022 #NobelPrize laureates in physics have conducted groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated," the committee tweeted.
"The results have cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information."
The three will share a prize of 10 million Swedish kronor ($901,500), which they will receive from King Carl XVI Gustaf at a ceremony in Stockholm on December 10, the anniversary of the 1896 death of scientist Alfred Nobel who created the prizes in his last will and testament.
