American experimental physicist who was the first to test Bell's inequalities using entangled photons. His experiments refuted local hidden variables and confirmed the nonlocality of quantum mechanics. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022.

Biography

Born in Pasadena. He earned his PhD at Columbia University. He worked at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In 1972, together with Stuart Freedman, he performed the famous experiment that demonstrated the violation of Bell's inequalities.

Key discoveries

💡 In his youth, he built homemade rockets and even won a science fair with a project on a cloud chamber.
Quote: "I hoped to prove that Einstein was right, but nature ruled otherwise."

Heat capacity catches quantum entanglement in time

Temperature lag during heating isn't just physics—it's a manifestation of temporal quantum entanglement. That's when events at different times influence each other, as if past and present were sharing information. Researchers proved: if thermal inertia is large, then such an unusual link exists with

Quantum Dance at Room Temperature

In a foil-like layer of boron nitride, an electron and a carbon atom's nucleus became partners in a quantum dance. Their bond held at room temperature—previously only possible in ultra-cold setups. This breakthrough promises compact quantum devices and ultra-sensitive sensors.

Atom in a Mirror Trap: A Step Toward the Quantum Internet

Scientists assembled a node from a rubidium atom and a mirror-dish: it catches the atom's radiation and links it with light particles. Entanglement fidelity is 93%, and the simple design is ready for mass production. This module will become the foundation of quantum networks.

Entangled Photons: A New Way to See the Invisible

The new BELS technique tracks the synchrony of paired photons rather than their brightness. This allows it to distinguish between birefringence and Faraday rotation in a single measurement. The method opens the door to ultra-sensitive diagnostics for quantum devices.

Hearing Precision: How to Predict the Capabilities of Quantum Sensors from the Sound of a Kettle

A quantum system can act as an ultra-sensitive sensor, but its ultimate precision used to be calculated by fully reconstructing all properties — a laborious process. Now scientists have shown that a few simple measurements suffice: a machine learning algorithm predicts precision based on particle co
