The science of networks is experiencing a boom. But despite the necessary multidisciplinary approach to tackle the theory of complexity, scientists remain largely compartmentalized in their separate disciplines. Can they find a common voice?
For contributions to the quantum theory of optical coherence, and to the development of laser-based precision spectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique.
The discovery of a superconductor is always exciting, but particularly so when the material is a common stationery item and the superconductivity is possibly unconventional.
Although recent years have seen substantial improvements in the perfomance of photonic-crystal cavities, their design has been a rather hit and miss affair. By turning around the general approach to cavity design through the use of Bloch waves, an important avenue to the discovery of optimal cavity geometries could be opened.
Physical phenomena associated with a quantum critical point are different from their classical counterpart in many ways. For one thing, the effects of quantum criticality might in some cases be observed far away, at unexpectedly high temperatures.
