Charles L. Kane, Laurens W. Molenkamp, Shoucheng Zhang

(For the theoretical prediction and experimental discovery of topological insulators.)

Alexander Markovich Polyakov

(For his many discoveries in field theory and string theory including the conformal bootstrap, magnetic monopoles, instantons, confinement/de-confinement, the quantization of strings in non-critical dimensions, gauge/string duality and many others. His ideas have dominated the scene in these fields during the past decades.)

Joseph Polchinski

(For his contributions in many areas of quantum field theory and string theory. His discovery of D-branes has given new insights into the nature of string theory and quantum gravity, with consequences including the AdS/CFT correspondence.)
