Physics Nobel rewards science at the smallest scales
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. "
