text: Physics Nobel Prize awarded for insights into light
  
  October  4, 2005 
  
  Roy J. Glauber (Harvard University) won half of this year's Physics Nobel Prize, and 
  John L. Hall (University of Colorado and National Institute of Standards and Technology) and Theodor W. Hänsch (Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching) each receive a quarter of the prize. 
  Glauber clarified the quantum nature of light. He showed how light composed of discrete quantum particles (photons) can be reconciled with the wave-like behavior of light. His theoretical work laid the foundations of quantum optics.
