摘要

A handful of outcasts: the allegedly “senile” Einstein [11], the persecuted David Bohm [13, 14], the “wasting his talent” John Bell [24], the rejected for an academic job John Clauser [8], ... rebelled against the sanctity of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and recognized a new phenomenon: the quantum entanglement [15]. Its study and well advertised attempts to apply it now flourish. The Nobel Prize came 32 years after the death of John Bell [2], the theorist who triggered the “new quantum revolution” [1, 4], and 50 years after Clauser, the youngest among the above listed rebels, made his crucial experiment (at age 30). Even at this late date the Nobel committee displayed a misunderstanding of what has been achieved [18].
