China\u2019s Micius satellite, part of a quantum physics research project, was constructed in part on his findings, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe configuration of the satellite and the ground station is almost identical to my original experiment. Mine was about 30 feet long, theirs is thousands of kilometers for quantum communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked to explain his work in layman\u2019s terms, he joked he does not understand it himself but added that the interactions it describes permeate almost everything.<\/p>\n<p>PRIZE \u2018LONG OVERDUE\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProbably every particle in the universe is entangled with every other particle,\u201d Clauser said, chuckling.<\/p>\n<p>French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted his congratulations to the winners, adding \u201cEinstein himself did not believe in quantum entanglement! Today, the promises of quantum computing are based on this phenomenon.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zeilinger, 77, told a press conference by phone after hearing the news that he was \u201cshocked, but very positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said in an interview this year after being awarded an honorary doctorate that protected quantum communication over potentially thousands of kilometres via cables or satellite would soon be on the cards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is quite clear that in the near future we will have quantum communication all over the world,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at a subatomic level involving the smallest building blocks of nature.<\/p>\n<p>In background material explaining the prize, the academy said the laureates\u2019 work involves \u201cthe mind-boggling insight that quantum mechanics allows a single quantum system to be divided up into parts that are separated from each other but which still act as a single unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis goes against all the usual ideas about cause and effect and the nature of reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sean M. Carroll, Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, told Reuters the prize for the trio was long overdue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though the \u2026 experimental techniques that these folks pioneered might not directly applicable, they\u2019re laying the ground work for using quantum entanglement as a technological resource,\u201d he told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>EXPERIMENTS<\/p>\n<p>The laureates explored in ground-breaking experiments how two or more photons, or particles of light, that are \u201centangled\u201d because they come from the same laser beam, interact even when they are separated far apart from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Aspect, 75, is a Professor at Universite Paris-Saclay and \u00c9cole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, near Paris. Clauser worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the University of California, Berkeley, among other institutions during his career, while Anton Zeilinger is professor emeritus at the University of Vienna.<\/p>\n<p>The more than century-old prize, worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($902,315), is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Physics is the second Nobel to be awarded this week after Swedish geneticist Svante Paabo won the prize for Physiology or Medicine on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>The physics prize has often taken centre stage among the awards, featuring household names of science such as Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Pierre Curie and Marie Curie, and rewarding breakthroughs that have reshaped how we see the world.<\/p>\n<p>($1 = 11.0826 Swedish crowns)<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Niklas Pollard, Simon Johnson and Johan Ahlander in Stockholm, Jonathan Allen in New York and Ludwig Burger in Frankfurt; additional reporting by Terje Solsvik in Oslo, Anna Ringstrom in Stockholm and Marie Mannes in Gdansk, Editing by William Maclean)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/nobel-physics-prize-won\/attachment\/nobel-prize-in-physics-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930IX-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930IX-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/nobel-physics-prize-won\/attachment\/file-photo-austrian-quantum-physicist-anton-zeilinger-gestures-in-vienna\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930IL-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930IL-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/nobel-physics-prize-won\/attachment\/nobel-prize-in-physics-3\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930J3-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930J3-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/nobel-physics-prize-won\/attachment\/nobel-prize-in-physics-4\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930J5-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI930J5-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Johan Ahlander, Ludwig Burger and Niklas Pollard STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Scientists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments in quantum mechanics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1671787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1671787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1671787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1671787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1671787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
