3 physicists share Nobel Prize for work on quantum science

French physicist Alain Aspect smiles before a press conference, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022 in Palaiseau, outside Paris. Frenchman Alain Aspect, American John F. Clauser and Austrian Anton Zeilinger were cited by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for discovering the way that unseen particles, such as photons or tiny bits of matter, can be linked, or "entangled," with each other even when they are separated by large distances.(AP Photo/Michel Euler) Professor Anton Zeilinger from the University of Vienna attends a news conference at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna, Austria, Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022.
