Wolfgang Ketterle
Nobel laureate in Physics, 2001
John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics
Associate Director, Research Laboratory of Electronics
Director, MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms
Wolfgang Ketterle is a John D. MacArthur professor of physics, the associate director at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, and the director of the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms. His experimental research in atomic physics and laser spectroscopy made him one of the first scientists to observe the Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases phenomenon. His awards include the Gustav-Hertz Prize of the German Physical Society, the Discover Magazine Award for Technological Innovation, and the Nobel prize in physics.

The story around the 49-minute mark is a great example of courage in science: ""Only after two nights, we took the whole machine apart and implemented the new idea."

as a german i'm a bit jealous ... his english sounds more german like my german ever will

[@JamesHeinrich-vk7vz]

As a Canadian with German heritage and can only speak at Novice level and what I learn from Gzuz/187 Staßenbande (Eins Acht SIEBEN!), Though your comment makes ZERO SENSE in English, I can tell EXACTLY what you're TRYING to say because this is the part of the Language Barrier I hate. The Syntaxes annoy the Sheiße out of me. Why doch AND aber? Why "spiel" mean "play" AND "game" AND "performance"? And wtf is Schon even used for?
"und Ich setz Schon wieder....Barfuß am Klavier"?

@@JamesHeinrich-vk7vz In fact he is saying, that the Prof has just a thick german accent that it almost sounds, like he speaks german. ;)

he is lovely , smart, elegant and clear.....not only, he is well prepared and a good theacer, then a professor

Maybe he hypnotized the atoms into a deep freeze, with his ASMR voice 😴

[@grzegorzach3891]

How you can make interview with such a wonderful person as Ketterle and be so unprepared, pushy and rude - is beyond my understanding. This could be a gem, and is actually painful to watch.

[@krish2nasa]

Wow, what a fascinating story! Thank you very much.

[@whirledpeas3477]

I believe this man won a Noble for ultra cold research?

[@vachikyadegarian1403]

Mr. Wolfgang , I am not a scientist but follow science , you are great at explaining the mechanisms , well done , Amazing , and Big Thank You

[@osman01003]

The interviewer sounded very rude at times.

[@JamesHeinrich-vk7vz]

He's American. Case closed.

Hi Prof. Ketterle:
Nr. 1:
Haben Sie sich Gedanken gemacht über mögliche Neue Möglichkeiten , was betrifft die Kombination von Bose Einstein Condensation & der Idee von Anyons unter Anderem entwickelt von Ihrem Kollegen am MIT Frank Wilczek?
Kurz gesagt: zumindest für zusammengesetzte Teilchen- Systeme [meist Paare] hat man bei Anyons nicht nur +1 bzw. -1 als Multiplikations - Faktor beim Austausch von zwei Zustandsfunktionen eines N - Teilchen - Systems je nschem ob die ausgetauschten Zustände Bosonen sind oder Fermionen, sondern auch einen Multiplikations - Faktor:
exp i (Phase): welcher - da im Allgemeinen komplex ; d h. Imaginärteil nicht-verschwindend - nach der Austausch - Transformation verschiedenster Paar - Kombinationen zu einer Multiplikation mit einem komplexen Netto - Faktor führt welcher Interferenzen zeitigt, die aus einem herkömmlichen Bose - Einstein Kondensat nicht auszuwringen sind!
Sprich: reichere und diverserere Regulierungen der Kondensat - Idee würden sich - sogar experimentell ergeben!
Zweitens:
Meine Frau Dolly bemerkte eben, Sie könnten einen Haarschnitt bekommen. Sollte es in den USA einen Giordano oder einen Amr Diab- verehrenden Pop Sänger - Friseur geben, dann könnte es sein, dass man aus der Seriösen Wissenschafts - Aura gelegentlich entschlüpft.
Grüsse an Mehran Kardar ,
dessen Seminare ich hier in Göttingen nicht wahrnehmen konnte .
Auch Carl Wieman & Frank Wilczek, Max Tegmark, Gilbert Strang (Linear Algebra), Roger White (Philosoph), Noam Chomsky (Philosophie & Linguistik) ,
seien gegrüsst...

Thanks, inspiring. :)

[@antoniomantovani3147]

i hope that he do some work on 1923 problems, like black body since there is some exciting works there

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

For some reason I would love to hear him say "get to the choppa' ".
