An overview of Serge Haroche's works, which led to the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics, is presented. In particular, the generation and the nondestructive detection of the states of Schrödinger's cat and the recent quantum feedback experiment on photon number states are discussed. Other progress in cavity-QED(quantum electrodynamics) and in quantum optics experiments by other groups is also introduced along with the related activities in Korea.
