Each year, to recognize significant achievements toward progress in physics, the Physical Society of Japan (JPS) selects outstanding papers from among original research articles published in the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, Progress of Theoretical Physics, Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, and JPS Conference Proceedings.
The selection committee has chosen the following four papers for the 2026 award based on 19 nominations (17 papers) from editors of the two journals and representatives of the 16 divisions of the JPS.
