Ketterle, Wolfgang

Wolfgang Ketterle was born on October 21, 1957. He is a German physicist and professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

His research has focused on experiments that trap and cool atoms to temperatures close to absolute zero, and he led one of the first groups to realize Bose-Einstein condensation in these systems in 1995. For this achievement, as well as early fundamental studies of condensates, Wolfgang Ketterle was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001, together with Eric Allin Cornell and Carl Wieman.
