Entanglement: How quantum entanglement spooked the Nobel prize in 2022

The 2022 Nobel prize was awarded for “experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” to Clauser, Aspect and Zeilinger. After a brief historical perspective on quantum entanglement, more famously known as “spooky action at a distance”, I will discuss some of the main contributions by the three laureates and put them in today’s context of the rapidly evolving technological advances in quantum sciences.
