Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Wolfgang Ketterle has shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates". As John D. MacArthur Professor of physics at MIT and Director of the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, he is a world leader in the exploration of the many-body quantum physics of ultracold atoms. His research in Germany will explore quantum simulators for condensed matter phenomena with ultracold atomic fermions and bosons in optical or magnetic lattice potentials. |
