This one has been likely for quite a few years now, it's a shame they didn't award it in the 1980s (after Aspect's experiment) when Bell was still alive. Bell, Clauser and Aspect would have been a nice Trio, and quite a tidy award too.

Zeilinger has done amazing experiments, but a little more involved compared to the simplicity of the Bell tests that Clauser and Aspect did.

Well, it's a "no bell" prize.

The Nobel Committee is always slow and awards are long overdue. The average waiting time is over 20 years. 25 years even for Zeilinger.
