The Nobel prize was about experiments showing that QM entanglement is different from 'normal' entanglement, so I 'm not surprised.


The article shows how other people were mentioned in the 2022 prize who built on her work.

It sounds like she should have been awarded the 1957 prize too:

> In his Nobel lecture that December, Yang told the committee and guests how crucial Wu's experiment had been, making a bold statement that the results were due to Wu's team's courage and skill. Lee would later plead with the Nobel Committee to recognize Wu's work. Oppenheimer publicly stated that Wu should have shared in the 1957 prize. Segrè called the overthrow of parity “probably the major development of physics after the war.”


Could you link anything that gives a quick rundown on the difference between 'QM entanglement' and 'normal' entanglement?


I should have said 'normal' correlations: if you put a black ball and a white ball in a box, if two persons pick one ball the result of their observation is correlated but there's nothing surprising here..

But in QM, it's more complicated and it isn't a simple subject, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test
