Abstract

In his 1932 Nobel-prize lecture delivered on 11 December 1933, Werner Heisenberg declared that path so far traced by the quantum theory indicates that an understanding of those still unclarified features of atomic physics can only be acquired by fore going visualisation and objectivisation to an extent greater than that customary hitherto.

Quantum theory and the Nobel prize

Robert Marc Friedman

In 1933 the Nobel prizes seemed of little importance compared with the global economic depression and the rise to power of the Nazis, but many physicists still kept a watchful eye on Stockholm. Their bewilderment and chagrin over the most recent decisions by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had fuelled anticipation. No prize had been awarded in physics since 1930, yet recent theoretical and experimental achievements had led to a revolutionary new quantum-mechanical depiction of the atom. Would the Academy finally acknowledge these accomplishments?

The Nobel Marathon

On the occasion of the Nobel Prize ceremony, the winner spent ten days in Sweden. There, with his consent, he followed a programme tailored to him by the Nobel Foundation – a fast-paced marathon which varies from one recipient to another. While it is customary for the winner to give at least one lecture, Serge Haroche chose to take up the five invitations he received.From 13 to 15 December, he was thus able to present his research in the leading Nordic universities, in Uppsala, Goteborg, Lun...
