2001 Physics Nobel laureate to give Hofstadter lecture
Nobel Prize winner Eric A. Cornell will deliver this year's Robert Hofstadter Memorial Lecture at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, in the Teaching Center at the Science and Engineering Quad. The talk is titled "Stone Cold Science: Bose-Einstein Condensation and the Weird World of Physics a Millionth of a Degree from Absolute Zero." A more technically oriented colloquium will take place at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13, in the same location. "If you get atoms cold enough, they start less and less to act like little billiard balls and more like waves," says Cornell, who shared the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics for the formation of Bose-Einstein condensate with Carl E. Wieman of the University of Colorado-Boulder and Wolfgang Ketterle of MIT. Cornell is a senior scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He and Wiemann are both with JILA, formerly called the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics.

the Nobel Prize in Physics
Nobel Prize in Physics for 2001 jointly to three members of the Optical Society of America (OSA). The winners, Eric A. Cornell , JILA and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, Colorado, Wolfgang Ketterle Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Carl E. Wieman In 1924, the Indian physicist Satyendra Bose and Albert Einstein first developed the theoretical model now known as the Bose-Einstein Condensate. Bose initially developed theoretical calculations regarding light particles, and Einstein predicted that if a gas were cooled to a very low temperature all the atoms would congregate in the lowest possible energy state. The process resembles condensation, when drops of liquid form from a gas. According to the Swedish Academy, Cornell, Wieman and Ketterle were the first to successfully create Bose-Einstein condensation 71 years after Bose and Einstein collaborated. Cornell and Wieman produced a pure condensate of about 2,000 rubidium atoms at 20 nK (nanokelvin), or 2 billionth degrees above absolute zero. Independently, Ketterle performed corresponding experiments with sodium atoms. Ketterle also produced a stream of small "BEC drops" which fell under the force of gravity. Scientists consider this a primitive "laser beam" using matter instead of light.

Physics Nobel 2001
Cool atoms make physics prize matter.
11 October 2001 PHILIP BALL From the News and Features section of the journal Nature Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman, who made the first condensate. Wolfgang Ketterle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell of JILA, an interdisciplinary research centre in Boulder, Colorado, have won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in making and understanding Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). This new form of matter, a strange state in which a group of atoms behaves as a single particle, was first created in 1995 by Wieman and Cornell by cooling atoms of rubidium to within less than a millionth of a degree of absolute zero. Ketterle's group at MIT managed to make a condensate only months later. The theoretical existence of BECs was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1924, building on work by the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose. All particles are either bosons or fermions. Quantum theory says that no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state, but that any number of bosons can, in principle, exist in the same state. Einstein predicted that, at very low temperatures, all the particles in a sample of bosons - such as the rubidium atoms used by the JILA team - should fall into the same state and act as a single particle, later termed a BEC. The realization of BECs was long- awaited, and Wieman and Cornell's 1995 paper

di Sandro Stringari Gli anni di amicizia e di collaborazione con Eric Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle e Carl Wieman, vincitori del Premio Nobel 2001 per la fisica, coincidono con il periodo più intenso e stimolante della mia vita scientifica. L’avventura iniziò nel giugno del 1995, quando in una conferenza tenutasi a Mont Ste Odile, vicino a Strasburgo, Eric Cornell e Carl Wieman presentarono i risultati dell’esperimento completato poche settimane prima a Boulder in Colorado. L’impatto di quella presentazione fu enorme e la comunità dei fisici, radunati in un convento in cima alla montagna, percepì immediatamente che stava vivendo un momento importante della storia della fisica. Ricordo che Wolfgang stava seduto in disparte durante la presentazione, ascoltando in silenzio e meditando le mosse che avrebbe effettuato di lì a poche settimane. E in effetti la realizzazione della condensazione di Bose-Einstein (BEC) nel suo laboratorio al Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) avvenne subito dopo e fu pubblicata nel mese di settembre. In realtà il mio primo incontro con Eric Cornell ebbe luogo due anni prima, nel 1993, a Levico Terme in occasione di una conferenza internazionale che organizzai sulla condensazione di BoseEinstein. La mia prima collaborazione scientifica con Eric e Wolfgang ebbe luogo nel marzo del 1996 quando a una conferenza a Les Houches, vicino a Chamonix, presentai i risultati delle mie ricerche sulle oscillazioni collettive nei condensati. Discussi a lungo con loro ed entrambi confermarono che sarebbe stato facile realizzare l’esperimento e verificare le predizioni teoriche; e in effetti fu così. Realizzarono rapidamente l’esperimento (Cornell e Wieman a Boulder e Ketterle al MIT) e riuscirono a pubblicare i risultati a tempo di record nel giro di pochissime settimane. Gli esperimenti confermarono la teoria e il lavoro trentino sulle oscillazioni collettive ebbe grande impatto nella comunità scientifica. Da allora ebbe inizio uno scambio continuo di informazioni scientifiche che ha legato e lega tuttora Trento con i laboratori del Colorado e del MIT. Grazie a queste interazioni Ketterle ed io decidemmo di scrivere un articolo di divulgazione scientifica sulla rivista inglese

Posted Wednesday, November 7 Class of '80 alumnus wins Nobel Prize By Connie Zheng n alumnus has won the Nobel Prize in physics for discovering a new state of matter. Eric A. Cornell, Class of '80, in conjunction with his two partners, Carl Wieman and Wolfgang Ketterle, has pioneered a new branch of atomic physics through the creation of the Bose-Einstein Condensate. The BEC is a new form of matter that occurs at about two hundred-millionths of a degree above absolute zero, Cornell said. "E ric A. Cornell, Class of '80, has pioneered a new branch of physics." Cornell, Wieman and Ketterle's discovery will lead to ways to make better atomic clocks, which will produce extremely accurate measuring tools, according to Cornell. Physics teacher Richard Shapiro said that Cornell is an instrumental figure in shaping the field of physics. "Cornell and his partners created something that was technically impossible before," Shapiro said. Cornell described his experience at Lowell as wonderful and praised the school's academic environment. "I came from a regular high school in which students with good grades were called geeks," said Cornell, who transferred to Lowell in his senior year. "I loved it at Lowell because students shared similar academic interests."

Both Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell were asleep on Tuesday morning when they got the first calls congratulating them on winning the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics.
When asked on Tuesday how it feels to win the prize, Cornell looked over at Wieman and nodded his head, replying "pret-tee good."
Both Wieman and Cornell are fellows of JILA, a joint institute of CU-Boulder and NIST. They are the second and third Nobel Prize winners at UCB and Cornell is the second at NIST. Thomas Cech, a Distinguished Professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCB, was a co-winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Sydney Altman of Yale University, for research on RNA. William Phillips, a NIST fellow, shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics.
The fact that Wieman and Cornell were awarded the prize just six years after their discovery was noted by a number of speakers at the press conference on Tuesday in the JILA Building at CU-Boulder.
Hoffman added that the prize was awarded to UCB and NIST scientists, exemplifying the university without walls and culture of excellence themes of her CU 2010 vision. "It shows the importance of labs like JILA and the partnership with NIST, which allows scientists to do research at the absolute boundaries of science," she said.

The CU-Boulder scientists who won the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics agree that their creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensate was made possible in large part because of the unique relationship between the university and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Carl Wieman, a Distinguished Professor of UCB physics, and Eric Cornell, a senior scientist at the NIST Boulder Lab-oratories and an adjoint professor of UCB physics, will be awarded the Nobel Prize on Dec. 10 in Stockholm, Sweden, for their 1995 creation of the Bose-Einstein condensate, a new form of matter that occurs just a few hundred-billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
Wieman explained that a single university cannot financially support a high concentration of employees and infrastructure in one discipline, because it must spread funding to a variety of fields. And while UCB is underfunded in many areas, he said, when it pools its resources with NIST, the result is a high-caliber operation that can attract the best faculty, students and staff. "Our shop facilities are better than anywhere else, and our staff are better than anywhere else," Wieman said. "We have an environment where people are very concerned about doing things right."
He said that environment of excellence is self-perpetuating because when new employees arrive, a spirit of teamwork and high standards rubs off on them. "This is the only place I know of where you can come in at 8 at night and the staff in the shop are frequently working," he said. The instrument makers in the JILA shops, most of whom are university employees, do an excellent job of designing and constructing equipment requested by the scientists, Wieman said. For the creation of the Bose-Einstein condensate, for instance, he said he and Cornell needed a vacuum system with a glass cell of a specific size and shape that was capable of cooling substances to extremely low temperatures, and the instrument makers were able to produce exactly what the scientists needed.

Eric Cornell, Nobel Laureate National Institute of Standards and Technology and JILA As atoms get colder and colder, they become more and more like waves, and less like particles. When a gas of atoms gets so cold
that the "waviness" of one atom overlaps the waviness of another, the result is a sort of quantum mechanical identity crisis, a
"condensation" predicted 70 years ago by Albert Einstein. Dr. Cornell will discuss how one reaches the necessary record-low
temperatures, and explain why one goes to all the trouble to make this bizarre state of matter.

Cornell, Carl E. Wieman and Wolfgang Ketterle for their creation of Bose-Einstein condensates. The researchers will share the $943,000 prize, which will be presented at the 100th anniversary celebration of the prizes in Stockholm on Dec. 10.    Bose-Einstein condensates, predicted by Albert Einstein based on the calculations of Satyendra Nath Bose, are groups of atoms that are so cold that they are in the same quantum mechanical state, forming a single so-called superatom. In 1995, Cornell and Wieman succeeded in creating a rubidium condensate, using a magneto-optical technique to trap and cool 2000 atoms to a temperature of 20 nK. Independently that same year, Ketterle generated a condensate of sodium.    Cornell is a senior scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo., and a professor adjoint at the
