Abstract：The 2018 Wolf Prize in Physics was awarded to Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard for their contributions to quantum information. The Wolf Prize in Physics has been awarded annually since 1976, which is the most important prize in the physics world. Many of the laureates have also won the Noble Prize in Physics. This article demonstrates the development footprint of quantum information through the breakthroughs of those laureates of Wolf Prize in Physics in 2010, 2013 and 2018, and compares the different research ideas between them.
