A TRIO of physicists on Tuesday won the Nobel Prize for discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics that have paved the way for quantum computers, networks and secure encrypted communication.

Alain Aspect of France, John Clauser of the United States and Austria's Anton Zeilinger were honored 'for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science,' the Physics Prize jury said in a statement.
