EU-funded scientists among Nobel Prize winners in Physics
The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2022 goes to two EU-funded researchers Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger. They share the prize equally with John F. Clauser “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”. The Nobel laureates’ work cleared the way for new technology based upon quantum information. This follows yesterday’s announcement that Svante Pääbo, another EU-funded researcher, has been awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:

"Congratulations to the new Nobel laureates: Alain Aspect, Svante Pääbo and Anton Zeilinger. We are proud that these brilliant scientists have been funded by the European Research Council and previously by other EU research and innovation programmes. It pays off to invest in top researchers and supporting them in their pursuit for scientific excellence."
