For their “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter,” three scientists have given the Nobel Prize in Physics. The prize given out on Tuesday as the Nobels season got back underway. It won by Pierre Agostini of The Ohio State University in the US, Ferenc Krausz of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany, Anne L’Huillier of Lund University in Sweden, and the Max Planck Institute.
The award presented on Tuesday in Stockholm by Hans Ellegren, the secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the invention of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines awarded to scientists Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman from Hungary and the United States, respectively, the day before the physics prize.
For their contributions to the field of quantum information science, three researchers—Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger—shared the Nobel Prize in Physics last year.
There is a link or relationship between pieces of substance or information that formerly close together but are now apart. This relationship or connection may exploited to teleport or encrypt data. This recently demonstrated by a Chinese satellite, and quantum computers, which still in their infancy and are not yet very practical, might operate at lightening speeds. Some people even want to incorporate it into superconducting material.
Aspect described his involvement in a phone conference with the Nobel committee as “so strange.” “I am accepting in my mind something that is completely insane.”
