Nobel Prize in Physics 2023. First reactions from Nobel Laureate Anne L’Huillier, Lund University

“I feel very happy and thankful“. Anne L’Huillier, Professor of Atomic Physics at Lund University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz on Tuesday. The prize was awarded for “experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”. With laser technology, ultra-short light pulses are created that make it possible to look into the microcosm. These “camera flashes“ enable the study of the movements of electrons inside atoms and molecules.
