The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the winners of the prestigious prize in physics are Alan Espa, John Klauser and Anton Zeilinger.
The committee justified the award shared between the three scientists "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell's inequality and the transport of quantum information."
Last year, the prize was awarded to Japanese-American meteorologist and climatologist Sokoro Manaba and German Klaus Hasselmann for their work in climate modeling.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) the committee will announce the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, followed by Literature (Thursday), the Nobel Peace Prize (Friday) and Economics (Monday).

The award, named after the Swedish scientist and inventor of dynamite Alfred Nobel (1833-1896), is traditionally awarded in the Swedish capital where a special committee works on the selection of the candidates under a shroud of secrecy.
Among the prominent winners of the prestigious prize are a large number of Israelis, including: the writer Shai Agnon (1966), former Prime Minister Menachem Begin (1978), former President Shimon Peres who shared the prize with former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (1994), economist Daniel Kahneman (2002), the scientists Avraham Hershko and Aharon Chachanover (2004), the economist Israel Oman (2005), the scientist Ada Yonat (2009), the scientist Dan Shechtman (2011), the scientists Aryeh Warshel and Michael Levit (2013) and the economist Joshua Angrist ( 2021).
