Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Since most research now is carried out by teams, how appropriate do you think that Nobel and similar prizes awarded to individuals are?

yes you are right Sam.most of the research work is carried out by teams instead of individuals so its very difficult to decide that who is truly deserving Nobel Prize.

You can now ask another physics Nobel Laureate a question on the Nobel Prize YouTube channel or on Facebook. David Gross, Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004 is currently participating.
