Breakthrough Prize
– Winners Of The 2022 Breakthrough Prizes In Life Sciences, Fundamental Physics And Mathematics Announced
Since the dawn of science, improvements in precision measurement have led to discoveries.
Hidetoshi Katori and Jun Ye, working independently,
have improved the precision of time measurement by 3 orders of magnitude.
Their techniques – tabletop in scale –
for using lasers to trap, cool and probe atoms,
produce quantum clocks so accurate that they would lose less than a second if operated for 15 billion years.
These optical lattice clocks
have potential technological applications from quantum computing to using the effects of Einstein’s relativity for seismology;
and in fundamental research
they can be used to check theories like relativity, as well as to hunt for gravitational waves and new physics such as dark matter.
While experimentalists
probe the physical world with ever-increasing precision, mathematicians explore the frontiers of mindbending abstract spaces.
Takuro Mochizuki
works at the interface of algebraic geometry
– where solutions to systems of equations appear as geometric objects –
and differential geometry
– where smooth surfaces unfold in multiple complex dimensions.
Mochizuki
overcame immense technical and conceptual challenges to extend the boundaries of knowledge deep into new terrain,
extending the understanding of objects called holonomic D-modules to include varieties with singularities – points where the equations under study no longer make sense.
In the process, he has given a complete foundation to the field, solving all basic long-standing conjectures.
