Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 Lecture: A. Douglas Stone, Yale University, "Spooky Action at a Distance wins the Nobel Prize"
This talk will explain at a relatively non-technical level the significance of the experiments on quantum entanglement which were very recently recognized by the award of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly to Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger. The fact that a phenomenon we now call entanglement was inherent in quantum theory was first recognized by Albert Einstein in the 1930s, who disparagingly referred to it as “spooky action at a distance”.
