| Nobel Prize in Physics Is Awarded to 3 Scientists for Work in Quantum Technology | |
| (about 1 hour later) | |
| The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger on Tuesday for work that has “laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology,” the Nobel Committee for Physics said. | |
| Eva Olsson, a member of the Nobel Committee for Physics, cited the group’s “groundbreaking work” and noted that quantum information science had broad implications in areas like secure information transfer and quantum computing. | |
| Quantum information science is a “vibrant and rapidly developing” field, she said. “Its predictions have opened doors to another world, and it has also shaken the very foundation of how we interpret measurements.” | |
| The Nobel committee said that the three scientists were being honored for their experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science. | |
| “Being able to manipulate and manage quantum states and all their layers of properties gives us access to tools with unexpected potential,” the committee said in a statement on Twitter. | |
| It was the second of several such prizes to be awarded over the coming week. The Nobels, among the highest honors in science, recognize groundbreaking contributions in a variety of fields. | |
| The prize was awarded to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi for their work detailing humanity’s role in climate change. | The prize was awarded to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi for their work detailing humanity’s role in climate change. |
| The Physiology or Medicine prize was awarded on Monday to Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist who peered back into human history by retrieving genetic material from 40,000-year-old bones, producing a complete Neanderthal genome and initiating the field of ancient DNA studies. | The Physiology or Medicine prize was awarded on Monday to Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist who peered back into human history by retrieving genetic material from 40,000-year-old bones, producing a complete Neanderthal genome and initiating the field of ancient DNA studies. |
| The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be awarded on Wednesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. Last year, Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan won for their development of a new tool that spurred research into new drugs and reduced the chemistry’s effect on the environment. | The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be awarded on Wednesday by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
