Alain Aspect citations

Alain Aspect est un physicien français, né le 15 juin 1947 à Agen, connu notamment pour avoir conduit le premier test concluant portant sur un des paradoxes fondamentaux de la mécanique quantique, le paradoxe Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen.

Alain Aspect est le lauréat de la médaille d'or du CNRS en 2005, du prix Wolf en 2010, du prix Balzan en 2013, et a été nommé grand prix de l’Optical Society of America , la Ives Medal / Jarus Quinn Prize en 2013. Il est aussi lauréat de la médaille Niels Bohr en 2013, seul lauréat français à ce jour. Wikipedia

“La principale difficulté pour vulgariser la physique quantique, c'est qu'on ne sait pas très bien comment en fabriquer des images dans notre monde. C'est en ce sens qu'elle est vraiment contre-intuitive.”

Alain Aspect: Citations en anglais

“I think it is not an exaggeration to say that the realization of the importance of entanglement and the clarification of the quantum description of single objects have been at the root of a second quantum revolution, and that John Bell was its prophet. And it may well be that this once purely intellectual pursuit will also lead to a new technological revolution.”

"Introduction: John Bell and the second quantum revolution" (2004)

“As a witness of that period, I am also deeply convinced that John Bell indirectly played a crucial role in the progress of the application of quantum mechanics to individual objects, microscopic and mesoscopic. The example of his intellectual freedom, that had led to the recognition of the importance of entanglement, was no doubt an encouragement to those who were contemplating the possibility of developing new approaches, beyond the so-efficient paradigm developed decades earlier. His example opened the gate for new quantum explorations.”

“Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics – this is the reason why quantum mechanics seems so foreign to our everyday existence.”

"Introduction: John Bell and the second quantum revolution" (2004)

“John Bell devoted most of his efforts to conceptual and theoretical questions. Would he have liked that I also stress the importance of the technological revolutions that were, and will be, enabled by the conceptual revolutions? I cannot tell, but we know that he started his career in accelerator design, and that he always showed a profound respect for technological achievements. I like to think that he would have loved quantum-jumps-based atomic clocks, as well as entangled qubits.”

"Introduction: John Bell and the second quantum revolution" (2004)

“The most remarkable feature of Bell's work was undoubtedly the possibility it offered to determine experimentally whether or not Einstein's ideas could be kept. The experimental tests of Bell inequalities gave an unambiguous answer: entanglement cannot be understood as usual correlations, whose interpretation relies on the existence of common properties, originating in a common preparation, and remaining attached to each individual object after separation, as components of their physical reality.”

“The main difficulty in popularizing quantum physics is that we do not really know how to make images of it in our world. In this sense it is really counterintuitive.”
