He received a master of arts in physics in 1966 and a doctor of philosophy in physics in 1969 from Columbia University under the direction of Patrick Thaddeus. According to the reports published in news18.com
ANTON ZEILINGER’S EDUCATION:
Born in 1945 in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, Austria, Anton Zeilinger studied physics and mathematics at the University of Vienna from 1963 to 1971. Anton Zeilinger then received a doctor of philosophy from the University of Vienna in 1971, with a thesis on “Neutron depolarization measurements on a Dy-single crystal” under Helmut Rauch. Following this, he qualified as a university lecturer (habilitation) at the Vienna University of Technology in 1979.
According to a news release from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which bestows the Nobel Prizes each year, the three were honoured for “experiments using entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities, and pioneering quantum information science.”
Their intense research and development are being done to build quantum computers, enhance measurements, build quantum networks, and establish secure quantum encrypted communication using the unique features of individual particle systems.
