Nobel Prize In Physics 2023: Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier will share the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
According to a press statement from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the three Nobel Laureates in Physics 2023 have been honoured for experiments that have given mankind new instruments for examining the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules.
Ferenc Krausz, director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching and professor at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany, Pierre Agostini, and Anne L’Huillier, professor at Lund University in Sweden, have shown how to produce incredibly brief pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy, the release said.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences further stated that the laureates’ experiments resulted in light pulses that are so brief that they are measured in attoseconds, suggesting that these pulses can be utilised to offer images of activities inside atoms and molecules.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences remarked that the achievements of the laureates have made it possible to investigate phenomena that are moving so quickly that they were previously impossible to track.
“We can now open the door to the world of electrons. Attosecond physics gives us the opportunity to understand mechanisms that are governed by electrons. The next step will be utilising them,” says Eva Olsson, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics.
On December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s passing, the award will be given out at the yearly ceremony in Stockholm.
