Stephen Haroche

Serge Haroche is a French physicist renowned for his pioneering work in quantum physics. He developed innovative techniques to manipulate and measure individual particles of light (photons) and atoms with extraordinary precision. His research has advanced our understanding of quantum phenomena, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, which are fundamental to emerging technologies like quantum computing and secure communication. In 2012, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his experiments demonstrating how to control and measure quantum states without destroying them, helping to unlock the mysteries of the quantum world.
