Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier win 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics – Physics World

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have won the 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics for “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.

L’Huillier is based at Sweden’s Lund University; Krausz is at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Ludwig-Maximillians University of Munich in Germany; and Agostini is at The Ohio State University in the US.

Speaking by phone at the prize announcement, L’Huillier said was teaching when she received the news and only answered after the third or fourth call. “The last half hour of my lecture was a bit difficult to do…For me teaching is very very important!”.

L’Huillier added, “This prize means really a lot. It’s the most prestigious prize and I’m so happy to get it. It’s incredible. There are not so many women who get this prize so it’s very very special.”

She also spoke about the importance of fundamental research, saying that the work done by the three laureates is only now being used in practical applications after many years of development.
