Niklas Elmehed. © Nobel Prize Outreach THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS 2022 HOW ENTANGLEMENT HAS BECOME A POWERFUL TOOL Using groundbreaking experiments, Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have demonstrated the potential to investigate and control particles that are in entangled states. What happens to one particle in an entangled pair determines what happens to the other, even if they are really too far apart to affect each other. The laureates’ development of experimental tools has laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology. RELATED ARTICLES * Press release: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 * Popular information: How entanglement has become a powerful tool * Scientific background: "For experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violations of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science" © Johan Jarnestad/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences THE 2022 PHYSICS LAUREATES Interview with Alain Aspect “THE CONCLUSION IS, YES, QUANTUM MECHANICS RESISTS ALL POSSIBLE ATTACKS!” Alain Aspect was trying to find the limit of quantum mechanics, but, as he says in this call with Adam Smith, “I didn’t find it!”. Interview with John Clauser “WHAT A WASTE OF TIME, NOW START DOING SOME REAL PHYSICS!” As a young man, John Clauser set out to topple quantum mechanics, but all his faculty thought he was crazy. Interview with Anton Zeilinger “IT’S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THEORIES EVER INVENTED” Anton Zeilinger conveys his love for the elegant simplicity of quantum mechanics in this call recorded shortly after the public announcement of his Nobel Prize. DID YOU KNOW? THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY 2022 THEIR FUNCTIONAL CHEMISTRY WORKS WONDERS Sometimes simple answers are the best. Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 because they brought chemistry into the era of functionalism and laid the foundations of click chemistry. They share the prize with Carolyn Bertozzi, who took click chemistry to a new dimension and began using it to map cells. Her bioorthogonal reactions are now contributing to more targeted cancer treatments, among many other applications. RELATED ARTICLES * Press release: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2022 * Popular information: Their functional chemistry works wonders * Scientific background: Click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry © Johan Jarnestad/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences THE 2022 CHEMISTRY LAUREATES Interview with Carolyn Bertozzi “WHEN THE WORLD IS IN TROUBLE, CHEMISTRY COMES TO THE RESCUE” This call with Adam Smith, recorded immediately after the public announcement of her Nobel Prize, caught Carolyn Bertozzi just before the world started descending on her home in California. Interview with Morten Meldal “REALITY IS MUCH MORE COMPLEX THAN WE, AS CHEMISTS, ARE ABLE TO IMAGINE” In the call recorded just after he had heard that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize, Morten Meldal describes how he views chemistry as a way of describing reality. Interview with Barry Sharpless "YOU SHOULD BE DRAWN TO UNCERTAINTY" Recorded on the morning he was woken very early by the by the news from Stockholm, Barry Sharpless discusses the dangerous thrill of ideas and how difficult problems just insisted on being tackled. DID YOU KNOW? THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE 2022 “FOR HIS DISCOVERIES CONCERNING THE GENOMES OF EXTINCT HOMININS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION” Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans. He also made the sensational discovery of a previously unknown hominin, Denisova. Importantly, Pääbo also found that gene transfer had occurred from these now extinct hominins to Homo sapiens following the migration out of Africa around 70,000 years ago. This ancient flow of genes to present-day humans has physiological relevance today, for example affecting how our immune system reacts to infections.

THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022 ANNIE ERNAUX The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2022 is awarded to the French author Annie Ernaux “for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory”. In her writing, Ernaux consistently and from different angles, examines a life marked by strong disparities regarding gender, language and class. Her path to authorship was long and arduous.

Niklas Elmehed © Nobel Prize Outreach HAVE YOU READ? 2022 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2022 The Nobel Peace Prize laureates represent civil society in their home countries. They have for many years promoted the right to criticise power and protect the fundamental rights of citizens. They have made an outstanding effort to document war crimes, human right abuses and the abuse of power. Together they demonstrate the significance of civil society for peace and democracy. Read the press release Ill. Niklas Elmehed © Nobel Prize Outreach THE 2022 PEACE LAUREATES THEY DOCUMENT WAR CRIMES, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES AND THE ABUSE OF POWER The 2022 Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to human rights advocate Ales Bialiatski from Belarus, the Russian human rights organisation Memorial and the Ukrainian human rights organisation Center for Civil Liberties. RELATED ARTICLES * Press release: The Nobel Peace Prize 2022 WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE SVERIGES RIKSBANK PRIZE IN ECONOMIC SCIENCES IN MEMORY OF ALFRED NOBEL THEIR DISCOVERIES IMPROVED HOW SOCIETY DEALS WITH FINANCIAL CRISES This year’s laureates in economic sciences, Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig, have significantly improved our understanding of the role of banks in the economy, particularly during financial crises. An important finding in their research is why avoiding bank collapses is vital. RELATED ARTICLES * Press release: The Prize in Economic Sciences 2022 * Popular information: The laureates explained the role of banks in financial crises * Scientific Background: Financial intermediation and the economy Illustration: Johan Jarnestad/The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences THE SVERIGES RIKSBANK PRIZE IN ECONOMIC SCIENCES IN MEMORY OF ALFRED NOBEL THE 2022 ECONOMIC SCIENCES LAUREATES The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2022 was awarded to Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond, Philip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises”. The Great Depression of the 1930s paralysed the world’s economies for many years and had vast societal consequences. However, we have managed subsequent financial crises better thanks to research insights from this year’s laureates. They have demonstrated the importance of preventing widespread bank collapses. Ill.
