The article centres on a lecture by a 2022 Nobel laureate on Bell-test experiments and the foundations of entanglement, framed as part of an effort to bring African researchers into quantum computing. Its substance is historical and foundational rather than new results or products. For quantum readers, the useful takeaway is the reminder that the entanglement work underpinning today's quantum communication and computing rests on experiments that closed specific loopholes, and that the field's growth is increasingly a question of who gets to participate.
STIAS and SU host symposium on quantum computing with Nobel laureate

Nobel laureate Alain Aspect lectured at SU, discussing quantum physics and its applications.
Professor Alain Aspect, awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments definitively proving quantum entanglement, presented a lecture at Stellenbosch University’s Endler Hall exploring over a century of quantum discoveries. The event was part of the Nobel in Africa Symposium on Quantum Computing, hosted by the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study in partnership with SU, an initiative intended to actively include African researchers in shaping future technological advancements. “Africa…
