David Wineland

Dave Wineland Receives 1998 I.I. Rabi Award

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.

1998 APS Fellow - Gerald Fraser

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.

1998 APS Fellow - Richard Kautz

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.
Bill Phillips in 1997

1997 Nobel Prize in Physics - Bill Phillips

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...

1997 APS Fellow - Eric Cornell

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.

1997 APS Fellow - Albert Parr

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

1995 Rabi Award - Fred Walls

For major contributions to the characterization of noise and other instabilities of local oscillators and their effects on atomic frequency standards.
