Correct Answer - Option 3 : Quantum Physics

The correct answer is Quantum Physics.

  • 2012, Nobel Prize:
    • The Nobel Prize in Physics 2012 was awarded jointly to Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable the measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems.
    • Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland have independently invented and developed methods for measuring and manipulating individual particles while preserving their quantum-mechanical nature, in ways that were previously thought unattainable.
    • Both of them work in the field of quantum optics studying the fundamental interaction between light and matter, a field that has seen considerable progress since the mid-1980s.
    • Their ground-breaking methods have enabled this field of research to take the very first steps towards building a new type of super-fast computer based on quantum physics.
    • Perhaps the quantum computer will change our everyday lives in this century in the same radical way as the classical computer did in the last century.
    • The research has also led to the construction of extremely precise clocks that could become the future basis for a new standard of time, with more than a hundred-fold greater precision than present-day cesium clocks.

  • The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2012 was awarded jointly to Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka for studies of G-protein-coupled receptors.
  • The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2012 was awarded jointly to Alvin E. Roth and Lloyd S. Shapley for the theory of stable allocations and the practice of market design.
  • The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.
  • The Nobel Peace Prize 2012 was awarded to European Union (EU) for over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy, and human rights in Europe.
  • The Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was awarded to Mo Yan "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history, and the contemporary.
