Two scientists joining the prestigious Nobel club. Serge Haroche of France
and American David Wineland have won the 2012 Prize for Physics. The Swedish
Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday. They were chosen for their work in
Quantum physics, specifically finding ways to measure and manipulate quantum
particles without destroying them.
-This is something that Physics have dreamed long since dawn of quantum
mechanics, and today it's a possibility.
Their discovery of ways to manipulate the smallest particles of matter and
light could make it possible to build a new more powerful computer. Researchers
have long dreamed of building quantum computers able to conduct far more
complicated calculations and hold vastly more data than classical computers.
