Meet the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics!

Recommended for Middle Grades

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2022 goes to Alain Aspect (France), John F. Clauser (United States), and Anton Zeilinger (Austria) for their work in subatomic particles.

By making tools for experiments, the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics have made it possible for a new era of nanotechnology to begin.

We can do things we never thought were possible when we can change and control subatomic states and all of their properties.

A lot of research and development is going on right now to make nanocomputers and improve measurement.

Key facts!

  • John Clauser makes a machine that can send out two entangled photons at the same time.
  • The polarization of each photon is checked by a filter.
  • This shows that the Bell inequality is no longer true.
  • Alain Aspect makes a system that basically closes a gap between subatomic particles.
  • After a pair of entangled subatomic particles have left its source, the system can change the settings for measuring.
  • This means that the settings in place when the pairs are set free could not change how the experiment turns out.
  • Anton Zeilinger’s work shows that it is possible to do something called “quantum teleportation.”
  • Here it is possible to send a particle’s subatomic state to a particle far away.
