Cornell shared the prize with Wieman and with Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Wolfgang Ketterle, who also performed seminal work in BECs starting later in 1995.

Wineland was chosen "for an extraordinary range of pioneering studies combining trapped ions and lasers."

Typically, there will be one such lectureship annually for each of the principal subdisciplines of the Conferences, namely the Biological, Chemical, and Physical sciences. At its discretion, the Board may occasionally elect additional Alexander M...

For leadership in demonstrating x-ray tomography of integrated circuit interconnects with submicron resolution.

For definitive calculations of atomic collision processes, which have improved our understanding of photoassociation spectroscopy, dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates, and effects of radiation retardation on atomic collisions.

For leadership in demonstrating x-ray tomography of integrated circuit interconnects with submicron resolution.

For application of first-principles theory to the understanding of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases.

A physicist from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Belecki was honored for his 29 years of service in support of electrical measurements, standards, and traceability in support US industry, academia, and government metrology...

John D. Gillaspy, a physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, received his Ph.D. in 1988 from Harvard University, where he also received his A.M. degree. His undergraduate work was at Stanford University. At NIST, he is leader...

For the first laser cooling of any atomic species and the demonstration of innovative methods for laser cooling of trapped ions, providing the foundation for the next generation of atomic frequency standards.

Phillips was chosen "for pioneering experiments in laser cooling and trapping, including the first demonstrations of Zeeman cooling, the magnetic trapping of neutral atoms and the extension of laser cooling below the Doppler limit."

For major contributions to the understanding of weak intermolecular forces, vibrational couplings, intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution, and the development of the technique of electric-resonance optothermal spectroscopy.

For experimental and theoretical investigations of Josephson junctions, particularly the nonlinear dynamics of phase locking and chaos, essential to the development of practical series-array voltage standards.

Cornell was cited "For achieving Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas, for creating techniques for studying the Bose condensate, and for measuring the physical properties of the weakly interacting atomic Bose gas."

Their work combined to create some of the most important technologies of modern atomic physics, which thousands of researchers worldwide employ today for a wide variety of applications. Phillips began his experiments with laser trapping and cooling...

For pioneering research that led to the first observation of Bose-Einstein condensation in an atomic gas, an observation that has opened a new area of investigation in physics.

For outstanding contributions to the development of innovative instruments and techniques for elucidating atomic and molecular photoionization processes and for defining national radiometric standards.
