Yakir Aharonov and Amnon Yariv will be among 10 scientists to receive the award from President Obama at a mid-November ceremony at the White House for their outstanding contributions to the field.
Aharonov, 78, a quantum physicist, is an emeritus professor at Tel Aviv University and a professor at Chapman University in California. He discovered the Aharonov-Bohm effect with physicist David Bohm that describes how particles are influenced by forces far removed from them.
