Abstract:
Bangalore: American physicist David J
Wineland, who along with French scientist
Serge Haroche won the 2012Nobel Prize for
his works in quantum physics, has a Bangalore
connection. This link, incidentally,
contributed significantly to the works that
eventually got the physicist the honour.
Dr Bhanu Pratap Das, the top boss of
the city's Indian Institute of Astrophysics,
has known Dr Wineland since 1984 when
both were involved in academic works in
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) at Colorado, US.
