Information theory gets credited to Shannon but the people who made it actually work in practice rarely get this kind of recognition. Long overdue.

To think quantum computers at IBM in the 80's, its sad to think companies like IBM and Bell Labs are not the same companies they used to be, I mean the people working at those companies during the 20th century changed the world. Im glad they got this award as it is apparent they had a huge impact on security and quantum computing in general.

So the guy that came up with the idea and approach is the secondary on the award?
