Does God play dice? And what game do physicists play? Nicolas Gisin, the author of the groundbreaking Geneva experiment on the transmission of quantum entanglement of photon pairs through fiber optics, shares his views on fundamental questions of quantum physics through the lens of Bell's game – an imagined experiment that considers the theoretical possibility of superluminal information transfer using entangled particles. Real experiments with them have proven the nonlocal nature of the world – despite scientists' intuitive desire, events at distant points in the universe can directly depend on one another.
The true nature of these phenomena and their implications have recently become a hot topic in physics. According to the author, the second quantum revolution, which began in the last decade of the 20th century, will allow for the construction of a new, coherent, and fruitful worldview.
