Capasso, Wilczek, and Zeilinger Share King Faisal Science Prize

Jean Dalibard, Sylvain Gigan

The Nobel committee announced on October 4th that Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger were awarded the Nobel prize “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” [1]. In this article, we want to put the Nobel Prize in perspective, and replace the three laureates’ contribution in their historical context.

Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022 for "entangled photon experiment, proof of Weibull inequality and pioneering quantum information science". This paper reviews the growth experiences and scientific contributions of three Nobel Prize winners in physics, introduces the development of quantum information science in China, and then provides some thoughts on the relationship between basic scientific research and innovation of emerging industries in China.
