2005 Nobel Prize in Physics

The 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Roy J. Glauber and John L. Hall for advancements in understanding light and precision measurement. Glauber developed a method to analyze how particles of light, called photons, behave, which improved our understanding of quantum mechanics and the nature of light. Hall created highly precise laser techniques to measure time and frequency, leading to extremely accurate atomic clocks. These innovations have enhanced technologies like GPS, improved scientific experiments, and deepened our understanding of the quantum world, demonstrating how light can be understood, manipulated, and used with remarkable accuracy.
