Simons Center:

The Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was founded in 2012.  The prize aims to recognize those individuals who have made profound contributions to human knowledge, and major insights into the deepest questions of the universe.  Each year winners are selected by a committee comprised of previous Breakthrough Prize laureates. All three winners of the 2017 prize were chosen on account of their research in transformative advances in quantum field theory, string theory, and quantum gravity.
