Jury

The verdict

At its closing session on November 29, 2013, the jury decided to award the main prize to for the thesis Grassmannian origin of scattering amplitudes found to be an impressive work containing a deep and essential contribution to the field of scattering amplitudes uncovering for quantum field theory a wealth of deep and valuable mathematical structures.

The jury also decided to give a honourable mention to the theses of entitled Quantum simulations with ultracold atoms: beyond standard optical latticess, an exceptionally well-written and impressive thesis, summarising research addressing simulations of processes in complex systems based on numerous strong publications written with leading experts in the field of quantum simulations and entitled Quantum walks, a thesis containing a top research in the hot topic of quantum information processing with an impressive impact.
