&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Alain Aspect&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (born 15 June 1947) is a French physicist whose experiments on entangled photons became landmarks in tests of Bell inequalities and the empirical study of quantum nonlocality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quantum context ==&lt;br /&gt;
Aspect&amp;#039;s early-1980s experiments tested whether correlations between spatially separated quantum systems could be explained by local hidden-variable theories. The results supported the quantum-mechanical predictions for entangled photon pairs and helped make Bell tests a central experimental tool in quantum foundations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His work connects directly with [[Physics:Quantum entanglement]], [[Physics:Quantum nonlocality]], and modern quantum information experiments, where Bell inequality violations are used to certify nonclassical correlations.&lt;br /&gt;
