Physics Nobel Prize Resources from AIP
From AIP Leadership

Michael Moloney, AIP's CEO: This work is truly groundbreaking. Attosecond laser pulses reveal the hidden world of electron dynamics within atoms and molecules. These techniques help us peer inside atoms to the scale of electrons, which were previously moving too fast for us to see — we didn’t have a strobe light fast enough to resolve the motion. This new window into the natural world allows us to probe electron dynamics in atomic and molecular systems, which are at the heart of the chemical and physical interactions of materials that underpin all our electronic, chemical, and medical innovations and technology.

Penelope Lewis, AIP Publishing's Chief Publishing Officer: This year’s prize is a spectacular demonstration of pioneering fundamental research pushing past the limits of what we once thought possible. Through their remarkable experimental and theoretical approaches to measuring ultrafast electronic dynamics, Agostini, Krausz, and L’Huillier are allowing us to understand essential physical processes at previously unattainable levels of detail.

Biographies

Pierre Agostini 

Pierre Agostini was educated in France, earning a Baccalauréat Mathématiques Elémentaires from the Prytanée Militaire La Flèche in 1959, and multiple degrees from the Université Aix-Marseille, including his teaching license in physics in 1961, a diploma of advanced studies in 1962, and his doctorate in 1968. After earning his doctorate, he worked as a researcher at the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) Paris-Saclay until 1996. During this period, he was a visiting professor at the University of Southern California and a visiting scientist at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF). Then in 1996, he was promoted to Expert Senior at CEA Paris-Saclay and from 1999 to 2002, served as Director of Research there and as Scientific Advisor from 2002 to 2003. It was here at CEA Paris-Saclay, that in 2001 Agostini invented the RABBITT (reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions) technique for measuring the width of attosecond light pulses. It was for this work that he won the Nobel Prize. 

Following his time as Director, Agostini spent some time at the Université Laval and Brookhaven National Laboratory. He was a Joop Los Fellow at AMOLF in 2003-04 and a Humboldt Fellow at the Max Born Institute in 2004-05. From 2004 onward, he was a Professor of Physics at Ohio State University. Agostini is currently Emeritus Professor at Ohio State University. 

Pierre Agostini won the 2007 William F. Meggers Award from Optica and was elected a Fellow in 2008 “for leadership in the development of innovative experiments providing major insights into the dynamics of the nonlinear response of atoms and molecules submitted to strong infrared laser pulses.” 

Ferenc Krausz 

Ferenc Krausz was born in 1962 in Mór, Hungary. He studied theoretical physics at Eötvös Loránd University and electrical engineering at the Budapest University of Technology, where he earned a Diploma with distinction in electrical engineering in 1985.  

He earned a Diploma with distinction in electrical engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and in theoretical physics from Eötvös Loránd University in 1985. He earned his doctorate with distinction in laser physics at the Technische Universität Wien (TUW) in 1991, where he worked with Arnold Schmidt. He did his habilitation in laser physics at TUW from 1991 to 1993. He was then an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering from 1996 to 1998 and a Full Professor from 1999 to 2004 at TUW. Since 2004, Krausz has been the Director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and a Full Professor and Chair of Experimental Physics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.  

Krausz has co-founded and led multiple organizations. From 2006 onward, Krausz has also been the Founding Director of the International Max Planck Research School of Advanced Photon Science. In that same year, Krausz also co-founded with Dietrich Habs the Munich-Centre for Advanced Photonics, of which he also served as director from 2010 to 2019. In addition, since 2015, he has been the Founding Director of the Center for Advanced Laser Applications at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. In 2019 he co-founded with Mihaela Žigman the Center for Molecular Fingerprinting in Budapest where he currently also serves as Scientific Director and CEO.  

Krausz has received multiple awards and honors over his career, including the Wolf Prize in 2022. In 2009, he was named a Fellow of Optica “for pioneering contributions to establishing experimental attosecond science, by generating few-cycle light with controlled waveform and by generating and measuring attosecond pulses and using them for observation of the motion of electrons on the atomic scale.” 

Anne L’Huillier 

Anne L’Huillier was born in Paris, France, in 1958. She was a student at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses from 1977 to 1981, earning a double master's degree in physics and mathematics in 1979 and a teaching degree in mathematics in 1980. In 1986, she earned her doctoral degree from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, and Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) Paris-Saclay. From 1986 to 1995 she was a Permanent researcher at the CEA Paris-Saclay. During that time, she also was a visiting postdoctoral researcher at the Chalmers Institute of Technology (in 1986), the University of Southern California (1988), and at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1993). In 1995, L’Huillier became a Docent at Lund University, was then promoted to Associate Professor, and since 1997 has been a Full Professor in Atomic Physics. It was in 2005, while at Lund University, that her group recorded light pulses at 170 attoseconds using high-order harmonic generation.  

L’Huillier has won multiple honors and awards, including the Wolf Prize in 2022, and in 2021 was the first woman to win Optica’s Max Born Award "for pioneering work in ultrafast laser science and attosecond physics, realizing and understanding high harmonic generation and applying it to time-resolved imaging of electron motion in atoms and molecules." She was elected an International Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2018. In 2004, she was made a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and from 2007 to 2015, served as a member of the Nobel Ccommittee for Physics. L’Huillier was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1998, and a Fellow of Optica in 2016.

Michael Moloney, AIP's CEO: I want to commend the Nobel Peace Committee for acknowledging the inspiring, courageous, and stalwart work in which physicist, engineer, and defender of human rights, Narges Mohammadi has been engaged,” said Michael Moloney, AIP Chief Executive Officer. “Ms. Mohammadi has been recognized across the world for her efforts to advocate for the rights of women, prisoners of conscience, and others. Today all of AIP joins others across the globe in reflecting on our hope that this recognition will let Ms. Mohammadi know the world has not forgotten her voice and the voices of those she advocates for.

Biographies

Narges Mohammadi was born in 1972 in Zanjan, Iran. She attended Imam Khomeini International University where she majored in physics. While in college she started becoming active in social justice movements, working particularly on women’s and students’ rights. After earning her bachelor’s degree, she began work at the Iran Engineering Inspection Corporation while simultaneously working as a journalist specializing in human rights issues. She was fired from her position as an engineer in 2009, marking her move into full-time activism. Mohammadi has been the spokesperson and vice-president of the Defenders of Human Rights Center, president of the Executive Committee of the National Council of Peace in Iran, and a founder of the Women’s Civil Center. Her activism has focused on the rights of women and prisoners of conscience, including speaking out against sexual and physical abuse of women and detainees, torture, and the death penalty. She has been arrested, jailed, and tortured multiple times because of her work, and is currently in prison.  

Mohammadi has won multiple awards for her activism, including the 2018 Andrei Sakharov Prize of the American Physical Society, the 2009 Alexander Langer Award, and the 2011 Per Anger Prize.

From the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Chemical Physics, Tianquan (Tim) Lian: The Journal of Chemical Physics is proud to be the home for some of the earliest work in the field of colloidal quantum dots. These include the seminal papers by Brus in 1983 that started the field of colloidal quantum dots (https://doi.org/10.1063/1.445834, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.447218, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.447228), and the early publications of Bawendi as a postdoctoral fellow (https://doi.org/10.1063/1.457295) and as an independent group leader (https://doi.org/10.1063/1.466420, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.470559). These seminal papers have had profound impact on the field and on my own research.

Moungi G. Bawendi

Moungi Bawendi was born in 1961 in Paris. He earned his A.B. from Harvard University in 1982 and an M.A. in 1983. He earned his doctorate in chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1988 under Takeshi Oka. Following his graduate studies, he worked as a postdoc at Bell Laboratories for two years. Bawendi began teaching at MIT in 1990, becoming Associate Professor in 1995, and Professor in 1996. He is currently the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at MIT, where his group studies the characteristics of quantum dots, including the dynamical properties of their electronic structure, charge transport properties, and spectroscopies. They are also concerned with studying the design of light emitters, lasers, photodetectors, and photovoltaics, which are driven by quantum dots.

Bawendi is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS), from which he won the 2010 ACS Award in Colloid and Surface Chemistry and the 1997 Nobel Laureate Signature Award for Graduate Education in Chemistry. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Louis E. Brus

Louis Brus was born in 1943 in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended Rice University on a Naval Reserves Officer Training Corps scholarship, earning his bachelor’s degree in 1965. He received his doctorate in physical chemistry in 1969 from Columbia University, working under Richard Bersohn. Following his graduate studies, he entered the Navy as a lieutenant and worked as a scientific staff officer at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. Brus then worked at Bell Laboratories from 1972 until 1996, when he moved to Columbia University, where he is currently the Samuel Latham Mitchill Professor Emeritus. It was while at Bell Laboratories that Brus began working on semiconducting nanocrystals which led to his research on quantum size effects and quantum dot chemical synthesis.

Among his many prizes are the Irving Langmuir Prize in Chemical Physics from the American Physical Society, the R.W. Wood Prize from Optica, the Chemistry of Materials Prize from the American Chemical Society, and the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience. He has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
