Greetings Card : Wolfgang Ketterle
Cards from Science Photo Library
Wolfgang Ketterle
Wolfgang Ketterle (born 1957), German physicist, in his laboratory. He received the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics, along with two others, for his work on Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the " fifth state of matter". These form when atoms are cooled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. The atoms then behave as if they were one large atom. Ketterle has used this coherence to form an atom laser, the particle equivalent of a normal (light) laser. BECs could have many uses in nanotechnology and precision measurement. Ketterle is the John A MacArthur professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. Photographed in 2001

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned German physicist, Wolfgang Ketterle, in his laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. Born in 1957, Ketterle was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics in 2001, alongside two other scientists. His groundbreaking research focused on Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), which represent an extraordinary "fifth state of matter". By cooling atoms to temperatures just above absolute zero, these particles merge into a single entity and exhibit coherent behavior akin to one large atom. In this image, we see Ketterle engrossed in his work as he harnesses the remarkable coherence of BECs to create an atom laser—a particle counterpart to traditional light lasers. This innovative technology holds immense potential for nanotechnology advancements and precision measurement applications. As the John A MacArthur professor of physics at MIT, Ketterle's expertise and dedication have propelled him to become a leading figure in his field. The photograph dates back to 2001 when he received global recognition for his exceptional contributions to physics. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this momentous occasion with their striking portrait of Professor Wolfgang Ketterle amidst his scientific domain. It serves as a testament not only to his remarkable achievements but also highlights the significance of collaboration between academia and industry in pushing boundaries within our understanding of nature's fundamental laws.
