Anton Zeilinger(born on 20 May 1945 in Ried im Innkreis, Austria) is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna, previously Innsbruck. He became a member of K.A.V. Marco-Danubia Wien, a catholic student fraternity that is member of the Cartellverband. Zeilinger is known for multiple experiments in the realm of quantum interferometry, and the demonstration of quantum teleportation. His work influenced the experimental progress in a new sub-field of physics - quantum information theory. <

  • I think there is a need for something completely new. Something that is too different, too unexpected, to be accepted as yet.

Article

Anton Zeilinger ( German: [ˈanton ˈtsaɪlɪŋɐ]; born 20 May 1945) is an Austrian quantum physicist and Nobel laureate in physics of 2022. Zeilinger is professor of physics emeritus at the University of Vienna and senior scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Most of his research concerns the fundamental aspects and applications of quantum entanglement.

In 2007, Zeilinger received the first Inaugural Isaac Newton Medal of the Institute of Physics, London, for "his pioneering conceptual and experimental contributions to the foundations of quantum physics, which have become the cornerstone for the rapidly-evolving field of quantum information". In October 2022, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly with Alain Aspect and John Clauser for their work involving experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.
