SYNOPSIS
A Nobel laureate offers a brief lesson on physics’ biggest mystery, accessibly explaining the two quantum revolutions that changed our understanding of reality.
At the start of the twentieth century, the first quantum revolution upset our vision of the world. New physics offered surprising realities, such as wave-particle duality, and led to major inventions: the transistor, the laser, and today’s computers. Less known is the second quantum revolution, arguably initiated in 1935 during a debate between giants Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. This revolution is still unfolding. Its revolutionaries—including the author of this short accessible book, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Alain Aspect—explore the notion of entangled particles, able to interact at seemingly impossible distances. Aspect’s research has helped to show how entanglement may both upend existing technologies, like cryptography, and usher in entirely new ones, like quantum computing. Explaining this physics of the future, this work tells a story of how philosophical debates can shape new realities.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Alain Aspect
Alain Aspect é um dos mais importantes físicos contemporâneos no campo da mecânica quântica. Em 1982, demonstrou experimentalmente a não-localidade do entrelaçamento quântico, um avanço decisivo para o desenvolvimento da computação e da criptografia quânticas.
Foi galardoado com o Prémio Nobel da Física de 2022, atribuído «por experiências com fotões entrelaçados, que estabeleceram a violação das desigualdades de Bell e abriram um caminho pioneiro para a computação quântica».
Investigador e professor no Institut d’Optique da Université Paris-Saclay (Cátedra Augustin Fresnel), fundou, em 1992, um grupo de investigação focado em ótica quântica e simuladores quânticos atómicos. Leciona ainda na École Polytechnique e é investigador emérito do Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), tendo contribuído para o estudo do arrefecimento de átomos por laser.
Distinguido com numerosos prémios internacionais, entre os quais a Medalha de Ouro do CNRS, a Medalha Albert Einstein, o prémio Balzan de Informação Quântica, o prémio Wolf de Física, a Medalha de Ouro Niels Bohr e a Medalha Ives da Optical Society of America, é membro de várias academias científicas de prestígio.
É, desde 2024, doutor honoris causa da Universidade do Minho.
