Awards for research prizes and grants 2019

Lene Vestergaard Hau (b. 1959) is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics and is on the faculty of the Harvard Biophysics Program. Hau led a team who succeeded in slowing a pulse of light to 15 miles per hour and brought light to a stop. They took matters even further as they stopped and extinguished a light pulse in one part of space, and subsequently revived it in a different location. In the process, the light pulse is converted to a perfect matter copy that can be stored - put on the shelf - sculpted, and then turned back to light. These results represent a new paradigm for information processing.
