Award Ceremony for the Prix Schläfli Physics 2022

Natasha Tomm (Physics) received the prize for findings in her dissertation.

Her work could help give data transfers more protection against being hacked: during her dissertation at the University of Basel, Natasha Tomm (co-)developed a super-efficient source of individual photons.

The ceremony is held during the Swiss Physical Society annual meeting 2022.
