Serge Haroche
Nobel Prize in Physics
The Science of Light
From Galileo's Telescope to Quantum Physics
Light has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time. Elucidating its properties
over the centuries has been an adventure intimately linked with the birth and
development of modern science; it has led, after many surprising twists, to the
theories of relativity and quantum physics which have profoundly changed our
view of the world at the microscopic and cosmic scales alike. Placing his own
career in a rich lineage of scientific discovery, Nobel Prize-winning physicist
Serge Haroche offers a literally enlightening account of what we know about
light today, how we learned it, and how that knowledge has led to countless
inventions that have revolutionized daily life.
From Galileo and Newton to Einstein and Feynman, from early measurements of the
speed of light to cutting-edge work on quantum entanglement, Haroche takes a
detailed and personal look at light's role in how we see and understand the
universe. The Science of Light is at once a colorful history of scientific
inquiry and a passionate defense of "blue sky research" -- investigations
conducted not in pursuit of a particular goal, but out of curiosity and faith
that today's abstract discoveries may well power tomorrow's most incredible
possibilities.
A uniquely captivating book about the thrill of discovery.
Serge Haroche is professor emeritus at the College de France, a member of the
Academie des Sciences, a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences, and winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering methods
of manipulating and measuring individual quantum systems. He has taught at
Paris VI University, the Ecole Polytechnique, the Ecole Normale Superieure,
Harvard University, and Yale University.
