Abstract: We will describe the Science behind the “spooky action at a distance” that perturbed Albert Einstein and was epitomized in a famous inequality by John Bell. Behind all these non-classical statistical correlations is the property of entanglement wherein the state of the whole is more than the sum of its constituent parts. This year the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recognized three pioneers, Aspect-Clauser-Zeilinger, for carrying out groundbreaking experiments showing that quantum entanglement is an inherent property of our physical world with broad and potential implications in areas such as secure information transfer, quantum computing and sensing technologies.
