Video: Quantum Physics in Biological Phenomena

Around minute 8 the above video describes John F Clauser’s contributions that showed that Einstein was wrong and Bohr was right.

John F. Clauser (born December 1, 1942, PasadenaCalifornia, U.S.) American physicist who was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics for his experiments with quantum entanglement. He shared the prize with French physicist Alain Aspect and Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger. What happens to one particle in an entangled pair determines what happens to the other, even if they are really too far apart to affect each other. The laureates’ development of experimental tools has laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology.

Clauser had used Bell’ theorem to make his case. John Stewart Bell was nominated for a Nobel Prize; if he had lived ten years longer he would certainly have received it. This was not to be. John Bell died suddenly from a stroke on 1st October 1990. Since that date, the amount of interest in his work, and in its application to quantum information theory has been steadily increasing.
