Quantum Optics Shines in the Photon's Centenary

Adrian Cho

Published Oct 6, 2005• 0 citations

Abstract

Roy Glauber has won half the 2005 Nobel Prize in physics for mapping out the conceptual connection between assemblages of individual photons and classical waves of light. Theodor HA¤nsch and John L. Hall share the other half for developing exquisitely precise techniques to manipulate laser light, which is a quantum-mechanical torrent of photons.

One Hundred Years of Light Quanta (Nobel Lecture)

Roy J. Glauber

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2005 falls in the realm of light (see picture; a) classical and b) quantum physics observation of light), and it is awarded to three scientists: Roy Glauber, John Hall and Theodor Hänsch. Roy Glauber succeeded in describing a general method for observing photons. He formulated a theory that gives optics a quantum-mechanical basis.

Nobel spotlight falls on optics

Edwin Cartlidge

The 2005 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to the theorist who developed the first complete quantum theory of light and to two experimentalists who pushed laser-based spectroscopy to new levels of precision. The laureates' work has been influential in many areas of atomic physics, optics and metrology.
