List of Nobel Prize Winners in Physics – The Nobel Prize in Physics has been presented 117 times to 225 Nobel Prize laureates between 1901 and 2023. John Bardeen is the only laureate who is the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics twice, in 1956 and 1972.
All Nobel Prizes in Physics Winners List
| Year | Winner Name | For |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier | “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter” |
| 2022 | Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger | “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” |
| 2021 | Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann | “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming” |
| 2021 | Giorgio Parisi | “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales” |
| 2020 | Roger Penrose | “for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity” |
| 2020 | Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez | “for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy” |
| 2019 | James Peebles | “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology” |
| 2019 | Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz | “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star” |
| 2018 | Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland | “for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses” |
| 2018 | Arthur Ashkin | “for the optical tweezers and their application to biological systems” |
| 2017 | Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne | “for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves” |
| 2016 | David J. Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz | “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter” |
| 2015 | Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald | “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass” |
| 2014 | Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura | for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources |
| 2013 | François Englert and Peter W. Higgs | “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider” |
