    DescriptionProf Jeff Forshaw, a particle physicist at the University of Manchester, said the award of the prize was terrific news.

    “This is richly deserved because these are the pioneers of modern quantum physics,” he said. “Their experiments confirmed the most bizarre and possibly most important aspect of quantum theory – entanglement.”

    Forshaw added that today, entanglement was the key resource being exploited by quantum computers and the bedrock of modern information theory, adding that given Bell’s pivotal contribution it was also right that he was mentioned in the award’s citation.
