Nobel Prize in Physics set to honor breakthroughs in invisibility and quantum computing
Summary: The Nobel Prize in Physics will be announced on Tuesday, with potential winners including innovations like an "invisibility cloak," an atomic force microscope, and advancements in quantum computing. The announcement follows the Medicine Prize awarded to two American scientists on Monday.
Speculation surrounds notable figures such as David Deutsch and Peter Shor for their contributions to quantum algorithms. Other candidates include John B. Pendry for his invisibility cloak and Christoph Gerber for the atomic force microscope.
The Nobel Prize has a history of recognizing multiple researchers. This year’s prize will be followed by the chemistry prize on Wednesday, with literature and peace prizes announced later in the week.
