Carl E. Wieman

WIEMAN, CARL E.

Professor of the University of Colorado at Boulder

Research interests : Use of lasers and atoms to explore fundamental problems in physics.
Wieman developed with Eric Cornell the cooling techniques that allowed them to create the first Bose-Einstein condensation in an atomic vapor.

Nobel laureate in physics : about the Bose-Einstein Condensate
