		Alain Aspect (born 15 June 1947 in Agen) is a French physicist and alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan in France.
		Aspect's experiments were considered to provide overwhelming support to the thesis that Bell's inequalities are violated in its CHSH version.
		Aspect was deputy director of the French "grande école" SupOptique until 1994.

	The Holographic Universe - Crystalinks
		At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century.
		Aspect's experiment is related to the EPR Experiment, a consicousness experiment which had been devised by Albert Einstein, and his colleagues, Poldlsky and Rosen, in order to disprove Quantum Mechanics on the basis of the Pauli Exclusion Principle contradicting Special Relativity.
		Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them.

	CNRS - Alain Aspect : Shedding new light on light and atoms
		Settling a 70-year-old dispute between Bohr and Einstein and breaking through a supposedly "insurmountable" barrier to absolute zero are some of the numerous achievements of Alain Aspect, recipient of the 2005 CNRS Gold Medal.
		Alain Aspect, now 58, has made many breakthroughs in one of the most complex of scientific disciplines: quantum mechanics.
		After graduating from the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Cachan and successfully defending a first thesis in holography at the Université d'Orsay, Aspect was introduced in 1974 to the subject of his main thesis (“doctorat d'état”) through a famous paper by John Bell.

	Experimental tests of Bell's inequality
		A series of experiments conducted by Alain Aspect and his colleagues ended with one reported in 1982 in which polarizer angles were changed at a rapid enough rate to prevent light from either polarizer from reaching the more distant detection in time to influence the result[
		The only reservation Aspect and his colleagues expressed for this experiment concerned the lack of randomness in the polarizer settings.
		Aspect's experiment was widely regarded at the time as conclusive, especially in the popular press.

	Quantum Reflections - ed. John Ellis and Daniele Amati
		In their contribution, John Bell and the moral aspect of quantum mechanics, Kurt Gottfried and N. David Mermin state that "Bell has had the greatest impact on the interpretation of quantum mechanics of anyone since the 1920s"; few would argue that this is not true.
		As Alain Aspect notes in his piece, Testing Bell’s inequalities, one of the curious things about Bell's theorem was that, when he came up with it in the 1960s, there was no experimental data to go with it -- the situations Bell discussed had simply not yet been investigated.
		Alain Aspect describes some of his well-known efforts in his short, clear paper.

		At the same time, we were exploring, with Alain Aspect and Ennio Arimondo, the possibility of applying coherent population trapping to laser cooling.

	New atom laser could improve navigation systems - tech - 16 November 2006 - New Scientist Tech
		"One of the problems is that you don't have a well-defined wavelength and that is annoying," says Alain Aspect, the physicist who led the development of the new laser at the Charles Fabry Laboratory at the Institute of Optics in Paris, France.
		Aspect's group got around the problem by using another light-based laser to ensure that the beam is perfectly horizontal, counteracting the effect of gravity — a feat that requires extraordinary precision.
		Aspect believes atom lasers could ultimately be built into chip-like devices and then used to measure gravitational fields.

		The Alain Aspect experiment at the University of Paris can be considered crucial; as crucial as the Michelson and Morley experiment in 1887.

	Uncertain Principles: Top Eleven: Alain Aspect
		Aspect and his colleagues demonstrated this in their first experiment.
		There's another loophole here, though, if you set the polarizers in advance: some information could be transmitted from one detector to another, or from the detectors to the photon source, before the photons are emitted, and the states could be determined on that basis.
		Ths is a hugely important step in our understanding of the world, because it shows that there's no way out of the weirdness of quantum theory-- the theory is bizarre, but it works, and any attempt to construct an alternative is going to have to account for some seriously odd stuff.

		Since travelling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's more radical explanations.

	Does the EPR paradox prove that quantum theory is incomplete? Philosophy of Science at AhISee - the site for Insight
		In 1982 Alain Aspect and his group carried out a definitive practical test of EPR, using instead of the electron/positron pair mentioned in the earlier example a pair of correlated photons as proposed in Bell's Inequality theorem.
		The test involved the polarisation of the photons, and the decision as to which aspect of the polarisation to measure was taken after the photons were on their way by changing the state of an optical switch.
		Gribbin points out that quibbles over Aspect are not really to the point; Bell proved that “… any interpretation of quantum theory must involve non-locality.” The Bell inequality is in fact violated on experiment, and not by the Aspect experiment alone; therefore, local reality must be abandoned, even if quantum theory is totally in error.

	Einstein's Folly and Aspect's Triumph (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In Aspect’s experiment, the two photons were actually generated, and their spins measured about random axes (three of them, in the most successful version of the experiment).
		Whenever the two axes were the same, the spins were opposite; but when they were different, their values didn’t show that the unmeasurable spins were the opposite of the one measured on the other photon on that axis.
		In the interim between Bell’s publication of his Theorem and Aspect’s conduct of the actual experiment, some fairly tricky folks came up with another idea: perhaps, instead of local realism failing, you could interpret the experiment as a superluminal influence being sent from one side to the other.

		I can't even remember specifically what he was speaking on, I just recall being impressed with his clarity and sense of excitement at a couple of Gordon Conferences in the 80s.
		Ion trap experiments closed the loophole, but the ions were definitely not spacelike separated!) This loophole arises since we don't have perfectly efficient detectors and hence a local hidden variable theory can exploit this fact to "boost" its correlations.
		One point that occasionally gets missed in discussions of this sort of "instantaneous communication" issue is that though the sender and reciever may be out of each other's event cones, they must both be in the event cone of whatever process produced the entanglement.
