Ferenc Krausz is a Hungarian physicist, who was born in Mór, Hungary on May 17, 1962. He received degrees in electrical engineering and in physics, and a PhD in the field of laser physics from the Technical University of Vienna in 1991, where he became a full professor. In 2003, he was appointed director at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany and became chair of experimental physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2004. He was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics in 2022. In 2023, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science awarded Ferenc Krausz, Pierre Agostini and Anne L’Huillier the Nobel Prize in Physics “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
The front of the coin depicts a stylized image of a light pulse captured by the basic method used to measure attoseconds, so-called attosecond streaking. The back has a portrait of Krausz with the legend “NOBEL-DÍJ” (Nobel Prize) and the date 2023 in two lines to the left of the portrait.
