Abstract

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 was awarded to Alain Aspect (France), John F.Clauser (USA) and Anton Zeilinger (Austria) “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”. These studies have paved the way for the creation of quantum computers and enabled the existence of truly random number generators and cryptographic key distribution systems, the secrecy of which is guaranteed by the very laws of physics.
