Nobel Prize lecture: Anton Zeilinger, Nobel Prize in Physics 2022

Anton Zeilinger delivered his Nobel Prize lecture "A Voyage through Quantum Wonderland" on 8 December 2022.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 was awarded jointly to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science".

Love his simplicity of delivering "THE" lecture of his life. Calmness, humility, grateful while having a sense of humour as well.

30:54 EPR paper citations—wow! Love it!

I mean, except for the physics which is exceptional, this guy speaks with a Schwarzenegger-accent, which in itself, is an additional reason to make him great.

Someone needs to make a video education of this lectures w visuals. Would be amazing.

"It is operationally impossible to separate Reality and Information." -- Quantum Information Physicist, Anton Zeilinger 2011 University of South Africa. Professor Zeilinger gave me permission to use this quote in my book on Information Literacy, 2014.

A 'perfect' vacuum still contains a huge amount of energy fluctuations, hence virtual particles created via e=mc^2. However, if we are able to create a space with fewer virtual particles than deep space (between two uncharged, conductive plates creating a casimir effect for example) -- it would suggest that the speed of light in this space would be faster than c since the light will not be slowed down by interacting with virtual particles. Scharnhorst suggested this, but it was largely written off as untestable.

I posit that we should update our definition of the speed of light, c, to a relative value that depends on the density of virtual particles. Specifically, I would like to know what the speed of light would be in a space where virtual particles are at their absolute minimum (for example, perhaps in the infinitesimally small space between two event horizons right before black holes merge).

When c becomes a relative value instead of an absolute, Einstein's transformations might be challenged to produce new physics. Right?

The quintessential pragmatist; I like 😊.

Could be Arnold's English-teacher

Anton, Quantum Entanglement is real not only at microscopic/subatomic scale but also at macroscopic cosmic scale. We now have a working Quantum Theory of Gravity that is testable and complete with reproducible empirical experiments with the same results if repeated over and over again and again, confirmed by empirical observations in nature with 7-Sigma level results, guided by empirical laws and physical/mathematical equations that are predictive and precise. FYI: Quantum Gravity or Quantum Gravitation have three types that are equivalent to and manifested by Quantum Gravitational Entanglement - a Quantum Entanglement at Macroscopic Cosmic Scale namely: 1. Quantum Anti-Gravity = Spin Up Quantum Entanglement State; 2. Quantum Neutral Gravity = Superposition Quantum Entanglement State; and 3. Quantum Gravity = Spin Down Quantum Entanglement State. More detailed information could be found on the published papers 2 years ago in London, Paris, and Zurich, online and at the two scientific Journals ACADEMIA and REAL TRUE NATURE or alternatively, you can google the name of the author ROEL REAL ROVIRA

Okay can somebody explain to me what the take from this research is? I'm having a hard time understanding.

[bmaalimarber]

What that is mean the human choices must be considered on three variables?

Teleportation is real!! On the subatomic level but still, mind blowing.
