Spin glasses are useless. Even the most imaginative physicists, submitted to grant pressure, could not find applications for these materials. Yet their study, triggered by pure intellectual interest, has created a formidable new branch of statistical physics distinguished this year by the Nobel prize attributed to Giorgio Parisi.

Physics research contains two very different aspects–there is the fundamental research driven by curiosity, with the ultimate aim of understanding very small interacting systems, very large interacting systems, and the complex behaviour on intermediate scales, but there is also the applied side, where physics is applied to develop new technologies, new analysis methods and new concepts and insights that are useful for society. Read about it in Chapter 6 of the EPS Grand Challenges for Physics.

Over the last years, a new platform for quantum technologies has emerged. It is based on arrays of single atoms arranged with almost arbitrary geometries, and made to interact by exciting them to Rydberg states. Compared with other platforms, such as trapped ions or superconducting qubits, atom arrays are quite competitive for applications such as quantum simulation of magnetism. We describe the experimental methods used in this field, and illustrate recent applications.

Thanks to its spatial and temporal coherence properties, laser light lends itself to a wealth of biomedical applications. We review the use of lasers in medical sciences, from microscopy for understanding the origin of diseases, to diagnostics for enhancing the accuracy of therapies to surgery of almost any organ of the human body.

There has been considerable recent progress in discovering and understanding quantum phases and fluctuations produced by strong correlations. Heavy fermion systems are an ideal platform for systematic studies because low and competing energy scales make them highly tunable. As such the phases (faces) of strong correlations transform continuously into one another.

They are out there in the sky in huge numbers. They are the most astonishing objects in the universe. Their existence was predicted and understood before we detected them. They behave precisely as the theory predicted. Yet, we do not know what happens at their center, nor in their future. But this confusion is our key towards what we most lack in fundamental physics: understanding quantum gravity.

The potential to measure small energy transfers with very high energy resolutions motivated the development of cryogenic detectors to search for dark matter in the universe, the neutrino mass, neutrinoless double beta decay, and new phenomena in astrophysics. Other fields like material and life sciences also benefited from these developments.
