Physics Nobel rewards science at the smallest scales

Feb 16,2020 6:56 am

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics rewards research into Quantum Mechanics - The science that describes nature at The smallest scales.

The award goes to Alain Aspect , John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger .

They will share prize money of 10 million Swedish Krona (£800,000).

Last Year 's Physics Nobel was given to three scientists who advanced our understanding of complex Systems - in particular, Earth's climate.

On Monday, The Nobel committee gave The Physiology or Medicine prize to.

This year's three laureates conducted ground-breaking experiments using entangled quantum states, where two sub-atomic particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated.

Their results have cleared The Way for new technologies based upon Quantum Information .

" Quantum Information science is a vibrant and rapidly developing field, " said Eva Olsson, a member of The Nobel Committee for Physics.

" It has broad and potential implications in areas such as secure information transfer, quantum computing, and sensing technology. "
