By exerting unprecedented control over extremely cold atoms, researchers have put them in a state with several simultaneously ...

Scientists have just snapped pictures of single atoms as they move around freely, capturing details once hidden from sight.

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, ...

A particle that lacks the energy to climb a barrier can still appear on the far side, a curiosity known as “quantum tunneling ...

Bright idea: Wolfgang Ketterle (in his M.I.T lab) hopes to discover new forms of matter by studying ultracold atoms. Richard Howard Where's the coldest spot in the universe? Not on the moon ...

and the gases needed to be at ultracold temperatures to see anything at all (because atoms get the zoomies when agitated by heat). “Imaging quantum gases in situ at the resolution of single ...

My research focuses on understanding the interface between ultracold atoms and quantum optics - an understanding I plan to apply to the field of precision measurement. I am presently devising ...
