Ten days after he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in Stockholm, Anton Zeilinger was honored one more time: Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen presented him with an award for his services to the Republic of Austria (das Große Silberne Ehrenzeichen mit dem Stern für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich). 

"Anton Zeilinger has shaped the image of science in recent decades like no one else," Van der Bellen said. Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Education Minister Martin Polaschek also took part in the ceremony.
