The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded on October 5 to Austrian Fulbright alumnus Anton Zeilinger and two other scientists “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.” Dr. Zeilinger received a Fulbright award in 1976 to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He returned to Austria to complete his studies at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) and went on to teach at MIT and TU Wien before becoming president of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The Nobel committee honored Dr. Zeilinger for his work in quantum mechanics, which has broad implications in areas like cryptography and quantum computing. Dr. Zeilinger is the 62nd Fulbright alum to receive a Nobel Prize. The full list of alumni who have received Nobels is at https://fulbright75.org/nobels/.
