SUMMARY

Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking contributions to quantum information. Their work has established foundational principles in the field, making them key figures in its development. The discussion raises concerns about the likelihood of other significant contributors, such as Charles Bennett and Giles Brassard, receiving similar recognition due to the collaborative nature of scientific research. The importance of information theory in ongoing and future research in quantum information is emphasized.

Alain Aspect, John Clauser & Anton Zeilinger have rightfully received the Nobel prize for their contributions to quantum information, as they were three of the main pioneers of quantum information.

However, is it now impossible or very unlikely that other physicists working on this field (e.g. Charles Bennett or Giles Brassard) receive one as well?

No man (woman) is an island, and there are almost always collaborators who cannot be included. I think information theory will continue to be an important venue.
