Quantum particle work wins Nobel for French and US scientists France's Serge Haroche and American David Wineland will share this year's Nobel Prize for physics for work in quantum physics. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the Nobel laureates "opened the door to a new era of experimentation with quantum physics by demonstrating the direct observation of individual quantum particles without destroying them." Researchers previously considered their achievements to be impossible but it's now thought their work could lead to the building of a new kind of super fast computer based on quantum physics, that would change our everyday lives.
