Juan José García-Ripoll

Research Scientist at the Institute of Fundamental Physics IFF-CSIC

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is highly deserved and long anticipated. Three brilliant researchers are being honoured for experimental demonstrations that radically contributed to consolidating the foundations of quantum physics. These experiments genuinely demonstrated a property, entanglement, that cannot be explained by classical physics, using a tool, Bell's inequalities, devised by an equally brilliant scientist and also deserving of this prize. Undoubtedly, this prize is another recognition of the fundamental value of basic science, on which they are built and without which other important subsequent developments, such as quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing, would be unthinkable.
