This year the Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger, for their pioneering work in quantum communications.
- Clauser (with Stuart Freedman, who died in 2012) carried out the first experiment with entangled photons in 1972, which proved that the direction of Bell's inequality favors the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, thus solving the EPR paradox (acronym for Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen), which tried to contradict this interpretation. This experiment was not complete, so others were carried out later, under increasingly strict conditions.
