Mobil Projekt Zukunft Ber¼hmt in Boston: Wolfgang Ketterle, Nobelpreistr¤ger Wof¼r andere normalerweise zehn Jahre brauchen, das hat er in nur vier geschafft: den Sprung vom Assistenz- zum full-Professor. Das war selbst am leistungsorientierten Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT eine Sensation. Dort ist der deutsche Physiker Wolfgang Ketterle mittlerweile ein Star. 2001 hat er den Physik-Nobelpreis bekommen: f¼r die Herstellung eines sogenannten Bose-Einstein-Kondensats. Dahinter verbirgt sich ein seltsamer Zustand der Materie, nahe am absoluten Temperatur-Nullpunkt: Einzelne Atome bilden zusammen eine Art "Superatom". Was Einstein bereits vermutete, konnte Ketterle im Labor herstellen - eine wissenschaftliche Sensation. Heute will er das Bose-Einstein-Kondensat nutzen, um damit einen Atomlaser herzustellen. Der kometenhafte Aufstieg des jungen Physikers beeindruckte auch die Fachwelt in Deutschland. Das Max-Planck-Institut bot ihm einen Direktorenposten an. Und tats¤chlich: Fast w¤re Ketterle nach Deutschland zur¼ckgekehrt. Am Ende entschied sich der heute 47-j¤hrige Forscher aber doch f¼r die USA. Aus famili¤ren Gr¼nden, aber auch aus fachlichen. Hauptvorteile am MIT aus seiner Sicht: mehr Flexibilit¤t, weniger B¼rokratie und mehr Internationalit¤t.

Er ist nicht der einzige Tieftemperaturphysiker, aber mit Abstand der produktivste: Der diesjährige Physik-Nobelpreisträger Wolfgang Ketterle setzt in seinem Metier Maßstäbe. Das Portrait erschien im Wissenschaftsmagazin "bild der wissenschaft". He’s great!" Elizabeth Thompson strahlt übers ganze Gesicht.

Allein mit seinen Arbeiten könne sie locker die Pressemeldungen der an wissenschaftlichen Highlights gewiß nicht armen Elite-Uni füllen. "Wuulfgäng" heißt eigentlich Wolfgang Ketterle, ist Deutscher und ein Star. Wenn man jede Woche die renommierten Wissenschaftsmagazine Science und Nature durchblättert, fragt man beinahe schon automatisch: "Was ist diesmal von Ketterle drin?" Stars haben Allüren, denkt man. Da paßt der Mann, der schwitzend seinen Fahrradhelm an den Haken hängt und "Entschuldigung für die Verspätung" keucht, so gar nicht ins Bild. In einer typisch amerikanischen Stadt wie Boston, wo die Menschen beinahe zum Pinkeln auf die Toilette mit dem Auto fahren, fallen Radfahrer einfach auf.

"Ich habe mir das Gebiet ausgesucht, wo die meiste Musik drin war, irgendwas mit Lasern und Atomen. So kam ich auf die Tieftemperaturphysik."

Editorial Staff quick search Search Physics World Physics World November 2001 Condensates reap Nobel reward Feature: November 2001 The creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate in a gas has been rewarded with the Nobel Prize for Physics just six years after the breakthrough was made. In 1924 the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose sent a paper to Einstein in which he derived the Planck law for black-body radiation by treating the photons as a gas of identical particles. Einstein arranged for Bose's paper to be translated into German and published. He also extended Bose's calculations to particles with mass and showed that, at sufficiently low temperatures, they would all condense into the same quantum ground state. And for the next 70 years physicists struggled to make a Bose-Einstein condensate - which is sometimes called the fifth state of matter - in the laboratory. All smiles Then, in 1990, Carl Wieman of the University of Colorado hired Eric Cornell to work on the problem at the JILA laboratory in Boulder, which is jointly operated by the university and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Finally, at 10.54 a.m. on 5 June 1995, Cornell, Wieman and co-workers managed to achieve Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a gas of ultracold rubidium atoms.

Cornell, Ketterle, and Wieman Share Nobel Prize for Bose-Einstein Condensates Macroscopic quantum states of atomic gases, created in 1995, have more than lived up to initial expectations, with journals still bulging with reports of their fascinating behavior. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has selected Eric A. Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle, and Carl E. Wieman to receive 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." The three will collect their awards in Stockholm amid more than the usual fanfare, because this year is the centennial of the prize. Cornell is a staff scientist at NIST in Boulder, Colorado, and adjoint professor of physics at the University of Colorado. Wieman is Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Both he and Cornell are fellows at JILA. Ketterle is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics at MIT. Atoms in lockstep Atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) have been likened to foot soldiers in a parading battalion, marching in lockstep. All atoms sit in the ground state of center-of-mass motion, and they are collectively described by a single macroscopic wavefunction. Such a state was predicted in 1925 by Albert Einstein, who extended Satyendra Nath Bose's work on blackbody radiation to particles with mass.

Public Affairs and Media Relations Office news press releases Nobel Physics Winner - Prof Wolfgang Ketterle visits Dublin on 24 January 2002 7th January 2002 An archive of Prof. Ketterle's lecture is now available using Realplayer (Broadband/NarrowBand connection) Imagine how cold it is in interstellar space. In the vast expanse of space, temperatures average -270°C. In a remarkable feat of scientific endeavour, Professor Wolfgang Ketterle from MIT has managed to create matter that is even colder than interstellar space. Prof Ketterle's ultra cold gases of atoms exist at just billionths of degrees above absolute zero (-273°C) and are the coldest matter in the universe. To create these atoms Prof Ketterle used a combination of laser cooling and evaporative cooling to achieve Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC). It has been said that perhaps other scientists could have achieved BEC and indeed a number of them have subsequently managed it, but it took an extraordinary mind to make the leap of imagination to figure it out in the first place. At these incredibly low temperatures matter does some strange things. The atoms can form a beam just like a laser except that this is a matter rather than a light beam. When the optical laser was first invented over 40 years ago, commentators called it a solution looking for a problem. Now the optical laser is ubiquitous. Its functions range from surgical scalpels to supermarket scanners. Undoubtedly Prof Ketterle's atom laser will impact on science, medicine, industry and our everyday lives in the future.

Nobel Physics Winner - Prof. Wolfgang Ketterle visits Dublin on 24 January 2002 Professor Wolfgang Ketterle The old saying that a genius is simply someone who sees the obvious more clearly than the rest of us can be applied to Professor Wolfgang Ketterle, last year's Nobel Physics winner, who gave a lecture on "The Bose-Einstein condensate - superfluid gas of coherent atoms" at DCU on 24th January. Professor Ketterle, along with Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in December 2001 and his visit to Ireland is his first speaking trip since the prize was awarded. The invitation was issued to Prof Ketterle, Professor of Physics at MIT, before the announcement of his Nobel award, and the university is particularly delighted that despite the obvious pressures, he was still prepared to maintain his commitment to the university. Dr. John Costello, lecturer in DCU's School of Physical Sciences and the National Centre for Plasma Science and Technology played a major role in the organisation of this Irish lecture, along with the Institute of Physics, which also brought Professor Ketterle to Limerick and Belfast. The Dublin Lecture held at DCU was with over 400 members of staff, industrialists and senior academics and students from other third level institutions.

80. University Of Heidelberg Physics Nobel Prize Laureate wolfgang ketterle at the Physics Colloquium in Dr. wolfgang ketterle, whose experimental research on BoseEinstein http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/press/news/press363_e.html

Home Press Office Press Releases 27 October 2004 Physics Nobel Prize Laureate Wolfgang Ketterle at the Physics Colloquium in Heidelberg Prof. Wolfrum (born in 1939 in Jena) is already looking forward to the event: "I'm sure that a few other former doctoral students of mine will be there too," he enthuses. "There have been about 150 of them so far. They won't all be able to come to Heidelberg of course, but we're expecting an audience of about 600 at the physics colloquium." Many of them will naturally be attending to hear the Nobel Prize laureate talking about ultra-cold quantum gases. But it should not be forgotten that although Heidelberg-born Ketterle has been working at MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) since the early 1990s, the distinction bestowed on him rests on experimental techniques he developed at the Institute of Physical Chemistry in Heidelberg. Ketterle's lecture: "Ice-Cold Quantum Gases with New Features" Ketterle's lecture on 29 October will be on "Ice-Cold Quantum Gases with New Features". Interesting in this connection is the fact that in a recent experiment he was able to produce the lowest temperature ever achieved by human agency. Says Jürgen Wolfrum: "The difference to absolute zero was only half a nano-Kelvin, which is 0.5 x 10-9 Kelvin. Pulling off an experiment like that is more than a minor sensation — it's almost like a second Nobel Prize. And it also shows how many interesting fields there still are to explore, how many discoveries there are to be made!"
