More Nobel prizes in quantum information?

AI Thread Summary
Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their significant contributions to quantum information, highlighting their roles as pioneers in the field. The discussion raises concerns about whether this recognition makes it unlikely for other key contributors, such as Charles Bennett and Giles Brassard, to receive similar honors in the future. It emphasizes the collaborative nature of scientific research, suggesting that many deserving individuals may be overlooked. The conversation concludes with the assertion that information theory will remain a vital area of exploration in physics.

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.
