2004 APS Fellow - Robert Schwall

For contributions to superconducting materials and applied superconductivity.

2004 IEEE Fellow - Ron Goldfarb

For contributions to magnetic metrology for the characterization of superconductors.

2003 MacArthur Foundation Fellow - Deborah Jin

Deborah Jin is a physicist who uses recent advances in atomic cooling to study the behavior of atoms near absolute zero. As a postdoctoral fellow, Jin participated in early demonstrations of Bose-Einstein condensation—a process in which a small...

PopSci's 2nd Annual Brilliant 10

He's harnessed the bizarre quantum world and made it do his bidding. A century after the discovery of quantum mechanics, physicists are still unsure what to make of it, but they are making things with it--machines that capitalize on particles'...

Eric Cornell Receives 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics

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.

Physicist David J. Wineland of NIST Boulder Laboratories in Colorado

Dave Wineland Receives 2001 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science

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

2001 Alexander M. Cruickshank Award - Eric Cornell

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...

2001 APS Fellow - Zachary Levine

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

2001 APS Fellow - Carl Williams

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.

2000 APS Fellow - Mark Andrew Edwards

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

1999 William A. Wildhack Award - Norman Belecki

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...

1998 Young Investigator Award - John D. Gillaspy

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...

1998 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science - Bill Phillips

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."

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.

1997 I.I. Rabi Prize in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics - Eric Cornell

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."

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...
