		Halperin and Leggett have provided a better understanding of the macroscopic properties of materials which rely on non-intuitive quantum effects and interactions, that determine the properties of different states of matter and transitions between them.
		Leggett is recognized for his theory of the superfluidity (frictionless flow) of the light helium isotope at very low temperatures, for his exploration of macroscopic quantum coherence and for his contribution to the study of dissipation processes in quantum systems that cannot be ignored in practical applications.

		Professor Leggett’s research group is exploring a scenario for cuprate superconductivity in which a major factor is the reduction, due to increased screening by the Cooper pairs, of the long-wavelength, mid-infrared-frequency part of the Coulomb interaction.
		In addition, independently of this scenario, his group is attempting to explain the c-axis transport properties of the cuprates and are looking at some problems associated with the “pseudogap” regime and with the peculiar features resulting from the existence of gap nodes.

		Quantum physicists Alexei A. Abrikosov, Vitaly L. Ginzburg and Anthony J. Leggett yesterday won the 2003 Nobel Physics Prize for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids.
		Although decades old, their research got a new lease on life because modern-day materials can be made superconductive at increasingly high temperatures and strong magnetic fields, paving the way for future breakthroughs in technology.
		While Abrikosov and Ginzburg are credited with bringing superconductivity in from the cold, Leggett was honoured for applying this knowledge to the area of superfluidity, which occurs when the viscosity of liquid helium vanishes completely.
