据 诺贝尔奖官方网站 报道,当地时间9日11点45分(北京时间17点45分),瑞典皇家科学院诺贝尔奖评审委员会宣布,将2012年诺贝尔物理学奖颁发给法国巴黎高等师范学院(cole Normale Supérieure, Paris)教授塞尔日·阿罗什(Serge Haroche,1944-)与美国标准技术研究所(National Institute of Standards and Technology)教授戴维·瓦因兰(David Wineland, 1944-),以表彰他们在量子力学领域所做出的突破性研究——“提出了突破性的实验方法,使测量和操控单个量子体系成为可能。”( "for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems")二人将平均分享800万瑞典克朗奖金。 塞尔日•阿罗什,1944年9月11日出生于摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡(Casablanca, Morocco),1996年在巴黎高等师范学院与同事合作进行了实验观察,发现了量子相干性,获得1992年洪堡奖。2001年以来担任法兰西公学院(Collège de France)教授,量子物理学会主席。 戴维•瓦因兰,1944年2月24日出生于美国密尔沃基(Milwaukee, WI, USA),美国标准技术研究所教授。1965年在加州大学伯克利分校获得学士学位。1970年在哈佛大学获得博士学位。在华盛顿大学读完博士后后,1975年进入美国国家标准局,现在在美国标准技术研究所任教。 这两位2012年度诺贝尔物理奖奖得主均是1944年出生,今年68岁,两人的工作是独立进行的——阿罗什教授在法兰西公学院(Collège de France)和巴黎高等师范学院(Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris)从事研究,瓦因兰教授在美国国家标准技术研究所(NIST)和科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(University of Colorado, Boulder)从事研究。两位教授研究的都是如何在维持个别粒子量子特性的同时对其进行操控。 阿罗什和瓦因兰的研究对象是量子理论中一些最深奥的问题,比如纠缠与相干等。但他们的研究为超准时钟和超高速计算机的开发铺平了道路。利用传统电子学手段无法做到这一点。直到十几年甚至20年前,这些研究结果中的一部分还只不过是科幻小说中的设想,或者充其量也就是量子物理学家的疯狂想象罢了。”英国萨里大学(University of Surrey)物理学教授吉姆•哈利利(Jim Al-Khalili)说,“瓦因兰、阿罗什及他们各自的研究团队刚刚向大家展示了量子世界到底有多么奇妙,并为不久前人们还无法想象的一些新技术创造了实现的可能。”瑞典皇家科学院(Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)对于获奖成果的评价:“或许量子计算机将在本世纪大大改变我们的日常生活,就像传统计算机在上世纪产生的影响一样。”基于这两位诺贝尔物理学奖得主的研究成果,世界各地的物理实验室已开始进行超高速量子计算机的开发研究。 更多信息请浏览诺贝尔奖官方网站: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2012/
Two-Dimensional Crystal Claims Physics Nobel by Adrian Cho, Daniel Clery Low-tech methods. Geim (left) and Novoselov used cellophane tape to peel their prize-winning one-atom-thick layers of carbon off a chunk of graphite. Credit: Russell Hart/Univesity of Manchester This year's recipients of the Nobel Prize in physics earned that honor with the most wafer-thin of discoveries and with the help of some Scotch tape. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom share the prize for their discovery in 2004 of graphene, a one-atom-thick material made of carbon. Only a few years later, the material promises revolutionary advances in electronics and other technologies. My hope is that graphene ... will change our everyday lives the way plastics did, Geim says. Graphene had humble beginnings. Geim and Novoselov first produced flakes of it by peeling them off a chunk of graphite using cellophane tape. It just started as a Friday evening experiment, Novoselov recalls. We were enjoying doing it. Others had been trying more complicated methods of liberating a single sheet of atoms, says Philip Kim, a physicist at Columbia University. I was shocked that they were able to get a single layer with such a simple method, Kim says. We were completely scooped. Early on, graphene fascinated primarily theoretical physicists. Because of the material's two-dimensional nature, the electrons in it conspire to move as though they have no mass, much like particles of light. So just like photons, the electrons must always move, cruising along at their own specific speed of light. All of this was predicted decades ago, but graphene provided the first example of such odd behavior. Quickly, physicists, engineers, and chemists began to see the potential for applications. Graphene has many bizarre and often contradictory properties. For example, it is flexible like plastic but stronger than diamond, and it conducts electricity like a metal but is transparent like glass. Researchers have figured out how to make sheets measuring tens of centimeters across. They have developed methods to cut the sheets into nanometer-scale patterns and to change graphene's electrical properties by, for example, affixing hydrogen to its surface. That's opened the way to scads of possible applications. The South Korean electronics company Samsung has developed a touch screen from graphene, whereas researchers with IBM have fashioned ultrafast transistors from the stuff. A sieve of graphene might also serve to sequence DNA. Even Novoselov says it's too early to say exactly what uses graphene will find. Whatever I say now will be wrong because there has been so much progress in its properties and mass production, he says. In that regard, this year's prize could be considered an anomaly. In the past, a few prizes have quickly spotlighted discoveries that upended the prevailing theory; others have recognized advances that over decades had led to ubiquitous applications. This year's prize, by contrast, honors physics that by all accounts is beautiful but not revolutionary. You don't need a new theory to understand graphene, says Jeroen van den Brink, a theorist at the Institute for Materials Sciences at the Dresden University of Technology in Germany. At the same time, it celebrates the potential for applications yet to come. Will this really come into the market? Kim says. I think it's really difficult to say. Still, everyone interviewed by Science says Geim and Novoselov thoroughly deserve the prize. The prize is also unusual because one recipient has another claim to fame. In 2000, Geim won a share of an Ig Nobel Prize , a satirical award given out by the publishers of the Annals of Improbable Research, for magnetically levitating a live frog. Geim is the first person to win both prizes. During a press conference announcing the Nobel Prize, Geim reacted with unusual candor to his latest award: When I got the telephone call, I thought, 'Shit!' because it is a life-changing event.

Graphene speeds pair to Stockholm win Research on carbon sheets scores Nobel Prize in Physics. Geoff Brumfiel Konstantin Novoselov (left) and Andre Geim: from sticky tape to Nobel prize in just six years.Univ. Manchester (K. N.); J. King-Holmes/SPL (A. G.) Sheets of carbon with the potential to revolutionize electronics and materials science have bagged this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester, UK, have been awarded the prize for their work on graphene, a one-atom-thick hexagonal mesh of carbon atoms that has become physicists' material du jour. Geim and Novoselov reported the first free-standing graphene samples in 2004, having used little more than adhesive tape to create the material. Their team stuck the tape to a piece of graphite, peeled off flakes of carbon and then separated graphene from the rest of the flakes. Placing the graphene onto a silicon substrate, the researchers showed that it is a good electrical conductor 1 . Graphene's relatively recent rise to prominence makes it an unusual candidate for a Nobel, and marks the shortest lag-time between experiment and award since Johannes Georg Bednorz and Karl Alexander Mller won the physics prize for their discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in 1987, 18months after their findings were published. I think very few doubted that there would be a Nobel prize, says Andrea Ferrari, an electrical engineer at the University of Cambridge, UK, who researches graphene applications. But, he adds, I was surprised that it came so early. The award caught even Geim off guard. When I got the telephone call, I thought, 'oh shit!', he told reporters at a press conference shortly after the announcement. The second thought that came to my mind was, 'Oh dear, I will not win many more prizes'. Graphene's win may be down to the astonishing speed at which the field has developed. Almost immediately after its discovery, researchers realized that graphene was no ordinary material. Electrons travelling through the sheets display unusual quantum behaviours that can be easily studied 2 , 3 . Graphene's two-dimensional nature, and its atomic structure, also causes electrons to move through it much faster than they do through materials such as silicon. These properties make graphene a hot prospect for constructing computer chips. Although the sheets themselves do not behave as semiconductors, thin ribbons of graphene do. The ribbons' properties are not ideal for electronics, but advocates believe that graphene's speedy electrons and potential affordability could allow it to one day supplant silicon. A nearer-term use may be as a transparent, conducting layer in touch screens 4 , or as flexible displays. Graphene has also been teamed with DNA to create a chemical sensor, and can even act as a sponge to clean polluted water. Geim thinks that the material has the potential to be as revolutionary as plastics. My hope is that graphene and other two-dimensional crystals will change our everyday lives, he says.
