There's a reason the Turing Award is often called the Nobel Prize of computing. Gilles Brassard just won the award (alongside Charles Bennett) for his work on quantum computing, which ACM president Yannis Ioannidis said "fundamentally changed our understanding of information itself."

A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style.
