Abstract

ABSTRACT: The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2016 to three esteemed condensed matter physicists, David James Thouless (Emeritus, University of Washington), John Michael Kosterlitz (Brown University), and F. Duncan M. Haldane (Princeton University), for their critical theoretical work in topological phase transitions and its implications for studying strange phases of matter. This article provides an analysis of the citation and coauthorship patterns of each of the Nobel Prize winners after a brief introduction to the science that won the prize.
