Abstract:  The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to A. Aspect, J. Clauser, and A. Zeilinger for experiments showing that quantum entanglement across macroscopic distances can create measurement correlations that defy ‘classical-physics’ description. Such correlations do not require any physical, non-local interaction mechanism, and are the basis of the current explosion of interest in emerging quantum technologies. M. Raymer will describe the experiments behind the prize and give his personal reflections, including a reading from a comic book he recently coauthored under the UO Science and Comics Fellowship Program.
