On 31 January 2025, following the opening ceremony of 'Tomorrow an electric world', Alain Aspect, Nobel Prize 2022 in Physics, came to visit the Ampère Museum.
At the end of his visit, Alfonso San Miguel presented Alain Aspect with the certificate of Honorary Member of the SAAMA in front of the partners of ‘Tomorrow en electric world’.
During a press briefing, he was enthusiastic: ‘This museum is absolutely amazing, it's interactive, created even before the Palais de la Découverte in Paris. I think we're very much on the same level'. The visitors' book now bears Alain Aspect's words of encouragement 'For the friends of Ampère, as a token of admiration for the quality of the museum”.
Alain Aspect, French physicist and Nobel Prize 2022 in Physics, designed and carried out fundamental experiments that firmly established the foundations of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon at the heart of quantum technologies. His work settled the historic debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr over the foundations of quantum mechanics, with Bohr coming out on top. He has just published Si Einstein avait su (Oldile Jacob - January 2025).
