More Nobel prizes in quantum information?

AI Thread Summary
Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their significant contributions to quantum information, highlighting their roles as pioneers in the field. The discussion raises concerns about whether this recognition makes it unlikely for other key contributors, such as Charles Bennett and Giles Brassard, to receive similar honors in the future. It emphasizes the collaborative nature of scientific research, suggesting that many deserving individuals may be overlooked. The conversation concludes with the assertion that information theory will remain a vital area of exploration in physics.

Alain Aspect, John Clauser & Anton Zeilinger have rightfully received the Nobel prize for their contributions to quantum information, as they were three of the main pioneers of quantum information.

However, is it now impossible or very unlikely that other physicists working on this field (e.g. Charles Bennett or Giles Brassard) receive one as well?

No man (woman) is an island, and there are almost always collaborators who cannot be included. I think information theory will continue to be an important venue.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...

https://unionrayo.com/en/traffic-lights-color-white-autonomous-cars/ In this article, traffic researchers looking to improve traffic flow via autonomous cars and a 4th white light on the traffic light to signal that autonomous cars are controlling the light please follow their lead. Cue the Outer Limits theme song: “Do not attempt to control your television. We control the horizontal. We control the vertical. …”
