The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to John Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger for their pioneering experiments with entangled photons and the violation of Bell’s inequalities.
Their work provided decisive experimental confirmation of quantum mechanics’ non-local correlations, settling the long-standing Einstein-Bohr debate over the completeness of quantum theory.
These foundational experiments underpin modern quantum information science, enabling advances in quantum cryptography and computing, and marking a major milestone in the transition from theoretical physics to practical quantum technologies.
Einstein lost the debate on quantum 'spookiness,' but do new theories mean the true nature of reality is still an open question?
With nations pouring billions into quantum R&D, who is winning the technological race and what are the geopolitical stakes?
Scientists have put a visible object in two places at once. How does this challenge our fundamental understanding of reality?
Beyond code-breaking, what will be the first commercially profitable application for quantum computers, and when will it finally arrive?
As quantum computers threaten to break today's encryption in months, is the 2035 government transition deadline for new cryptography fast enough?
As AI's energy consumption soars, could quantum-inspired 'reversible computing' be the unlikely solution to a looming global energy crisis?
