Nobel Physics Prize 2014 will be announced in 2 weeks (On October 7). Here are my predictions, just for fun. Disclaimer: If Nobel Prize goes to Astrophysics, then all I know that exoplanet is a hot area, but I dont know wholl get the prize. There is almost no chance that itll go to high-energy and related areas this year, unless the committee wants to give it to Hawking for his service to theoretical physics !!! :) Predictions: 1> John Pandry and Stephen Harris for their contributions to nonlinear quantum optics. 2> 3 people out of this 4: Rob Schoelkopf, Michel Devoret, John Martinis and John Clarke, for their contributions to Josephson-junction physics. Remember Schoelkopf-Devoret-Martinis are London award winners for this year. 3> Cirac and Zoller, for their theoretical contributions to quantum computing. 4> Charles Kane (and his co-workers) for topological insulator. 5> Farhi and Goldstein, for their idea of adiabatic quantum computing. 6> Aspect, Zeilinger, because its probably overdue for them !!
