Last December the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute, honored six scientists that made a quantum leap on physics and cell, developmental and molecular biology -with their works performed from 1962 to 2011- with the Nobel Prize in sciences. Serge Haroche , French citizen, Ph.D. from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France. Professor at Collège de France and Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris; and David J. Wineland, U.S. citizen. Ph.D. from Harvard University, Group Leader and NIST Fellow at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado Boulder, were awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems. Both working on quantum optics, Wineland approach was to isolate polarized atoms, ions, with photons – light. Haroche, doing the oppos
