Science Librarians Analysis of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics: Observing the Quantum

Abstract

On October 9, 2012, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science announced the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics: Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland. They were awarded this prestigious prize for their innovative techniques that achieved the first nondestructive observations of quantum events. Though Haroche and Wineland worked individually to accomplish this spectacular feat, their novel methods have similarities that ultimately led to complementary results. With lessons learned from these experiments, time is measured more precisely and the future for quantum computing looks brighter.

Individual Quantum Systems The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2012 was awarded to Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland “for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems”. The former deals with photons and measures them with atoms and the latter deals with ions and manipulates them with photons. The potential and actual applications of handling quantum systems are on their way

The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland for their groundbreaking work in developing experimental methods that measure and manipulate individual quantum systems. Their methods, which have allowed the control of a system constituted of a single atom (ion) and a single photon, have opened a wide variety of applications. As a tutorial, this article outlines the fundamental concept of their Nobel-awarded methods: cavity quantum electrodynamics.
