The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm announced today (Tuesday) the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics: the scientists Alan Espa, a physicist dealing with quantum theory and the winner of the 2010 Wolf Prize in Physics, John Epp.
Klauser and Anton Zelinger.
They received the prestigious award thanks to "experiments in quantum entanglement, Bell's theorem and quantum communication".
Past laureates of the Nobel Prize in Physics include Albert Einstein and Marie Curie.
Last year, the prestigious prize was awarded to Seokuro Manba, from Japan and the United States, and the German Klaus Hasselmann, for their research on climate models.
The Italian Giorgio Frisi was also awarded "for his groundbreaking discoveries in disordered systems, particle physics and statistical physics."
Frisi is a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome-Spienza, whose research focuses on quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and complex systems.
Yesterday, the Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2022 was awarded to Svante Pavo, a Swedish geneticist from the University of Leipzig.
The award was given to him for his discoveries in the field of the genome of extinct hominids and human evolution.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced on Wednesday, Literature on Thursday, and the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday.
Next Monday we will know who wins the Nobel Prize in Economics.

The awards are accompanied by a certificate with a gold medal and an invitational cash prize of 10 million Swedish kroner (about 900 thousand dollars) and will be awarded on December 10.
The money for the medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace awards comes from a foundation of the award's founder, the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, who died in 1895.
Nobel invented dynamite.
The first prize was awarded in 1901, five years after Nobel's death.
The Nobel Prize in Economics was not created by Nobel but by the Central Bank of Sweden in 1968.
The panel of judges is prohibited from discussing their considerations of who to award the award to, so it is not known how they make their decisions and who was on the short list of candidates.
Thousands of people from all over the world are eligible to submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, including academic professors, legislators, past laureates and members of the Nobel Committee.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in a solemn ceremony in Norway, while the other prizes are awarded in Sweden - as Nobel wanted.
The award should be given to "a person who has done the most or the best for the maintenance of brotherhood between countries, for the abolition or reduction of armies and for the promotion and holding of conferences for peace".
