Nobel Prize R.B. Laughlin Department of Physics Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 Palo Alto Daily News Wednesday, October 14, 1998 STANFORD PHYSICIST WINS NOBEL He Gets News Via Mickey Mouse Phone Stanford's Robert C. Laughlin got the news he had won the Nobel Prize for physics in a particularly unscientific way - his13-year-old roused him after taking the 2 a.m. call on his Mickey Mouse telephone. "Hey, dad, there's some guy from Sweden who wants to talk to you," Laughlin said a few hours after he had been awakened early yesterday, recalling the wee-hours conversation with his son, Todd. The "guy" was calling to let Laughlin know that he, Horst L. Stormer of Germany and Daniel C. Tsui, a native of China who is now an American citizen, would share the $978,000 prize for their discoveries of how electrons interact to make the universe work as it does. At a news conference at Stanford, a beaming, tweed-jacketed Laughlin, his gray hair disheveled, accepted the applause and cheers of friends, family and co-workers, including two pervious Stanford Nobel lauriates. Laughlin, 47, tried to explain the significance of what he had accomplished, but his arcane lesson was met by a number of blank faces. He was asked if the discovery would have an impact on our everyday life.

MIT Alumni Win Nobel Prizes In Physics, Economic Sciences By Brett Altschul NEWS EDITOR This week, two MIT alumni were awarded Nobel Prizes for their work. William D. Phillips PhD '76 received the Nobel Prize in physics, and Robert C. Merton PhD '70 won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Merton, who is a professor at Harvard University, shared his prize with Myron S. Scholes of Stanford University. In collaboration with Fischer Black, who died in 1995, they developed the Black-Scholes formula for the value of derivatives. Merton improved on the original derivation of the formula, finding an alternate derivation. The new derivation was easy to apply to other kinds of investments, and Merton generalized the formula to cover a wide variety of options. "Thousands of traders and investors now use this formula every day to value stock options in markets throughout the world," said the prize citation. "I'm very pleased to win this," Merton said. "I'm glad my formula has gotten such widespread use," he said. Formula based on new principle In the past, attempts to calculate the value of derivatives involved a calculation of the risk involved in the investment.

Chu, a professor of physics at California's Stanford University, showed the world how beams of coherent photons, with nearly no mass of their own, could create an "optical molasses." Inside the laser beams, atoms slow to a crawl. From this point, two other researchers added their expertise to the laser cooling, creating a true optical trap that is capable of holding these slow, cool atoms indefinitely. Investigations of an unusual form of matter called the Bose-Einstein condensate and atomic physics at MIT and other laboratories were made possible in large part by the laser theory developed by Steven Chu. Together these scientists have enabled a new field of physics. As a result, scientists can trap certain types of atoms and study their internal workings at their leisure.

L'Attracteur No. Automne 1998 LA REVUE DE PHYSIQUE ISSN 1207-0203 Le prix Nobel 1997 Le Prix Nobel de physique 1997 a été attribué à trois physiciens, soit aux Américains Steven Chu et William D. Phillips ainsi qu'au Français Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. Ce prix leur a été décerné pour le développement de méthodes permettant de refroidir et d'emprisonner des atomes à l'aide de lasers. Le présent article a pour but d'expliquer le fonctionnement de ces trappes à atomes. La trappe à atomes est au centre d'un confinement magnétique et à l'intersection de six faisceaux lasers. Courtoisie du Scientific American La même année, au Maryland, William D. Phillips ajoutait à une trappe à atomes comme celle de Chu des champs magnétiques variables qui se combinaient aux photons des lasers pour mieux contenir les atomes de sodium dans l'intersection des lasers (voir image). Trois ans plus tard, Phillips refroidissait des atomes de sodium à 40 microkelvins avec sa trappe à atomes, ce que les physiciens n'arrivaient pas à expliquer puisque cela correspondait à une température six fois plus froide que la limite théorique atteinte par Chu. Les travaux de Steven Chu, William D. Phillips et Claude Cohen-Tannoudji sur le refroidissement des atomes leur ont donc permis de mériter le prestigieux Prix Nobel de physique l'an dernier.

Calendar of Events Press Release Contact: Lauren Ward For immediate release: March 31, 2003 2003 Buhl Lecture Draws Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist and Optical Tweezer Creator Steven Chu The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be followed by a reception in the Mellon Institute lobby at 5:30 pm. In 1985 Chu led the research group developing "optical tweezers" that showed how to cool and then trap atoms with light. Chu's theory explains how atoms can be taken to temperatures 10 times colder than the previously predicted minimum temperature. His group also constructed the first atomic fountain and atomic fountain frequency standard that led to the current time standard used around the world. In 1997 Chu won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in cooling and trapping atoms. At Stanford University, he is the Theodore and Frances Geballe Professor of Physics and Applied Physics. The Buhl Lecture is sponsored by Carnegie Mellon's Department of Physics and is funded under the auspices of the Buhl Professorship in Theoretical Physics, which was established at Carnegie Mellon in 1961 by The Buhl Foundation.

THE 1997 NOBEL PRIZE FOR PHYSICS This year 's Noble prize has been won by Steven Chu of Stanford, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji of the Ecole Normale Superieure in France, and William Phillips of NIST for their development of laser cooling for neutral atoms. In this case "cooling" means reducing the relative velocities of atoms. In these experiments, an array of laser beams converges on a gas of atoms. In the simplest type of laser cooling, the wavelength of the light is tuned so that just the fastest atoms moving in a particular direction will absorb a photon head-on, thus slowing their motion in that direction. The atoms will eventually re-emit a photon but in random directions. The effect of the laser bombardment is a net slowing of the atoms. This "optical molasses" can slow millions of atoms to temperatures just millionths of a degree above absolute zero. Adding magnetic fields to the laser configuration enables one to trap the atoms and cool them further. As a result of these techniques, physicists can cool atoms closer to absolute zero than ever before, to temperatures of nanokelvins in some cases. Reducing the distracting presence of thermal motion permits the study of atomic properties with much greater precision. Furthermore, laser cooling serves as the first stage in reaching the exotic condition known as Bose-Einstein condensation, the new state of matter in which many atoms begin to "overlap," eventually assuming a single common quantum state.

91. H2 Nobel Laureate William D. Phillips /h2 The 1997 nobel Prize in Physics was shared by William D. Phillips, StevenChu and Claude CohenTannoudji. For a summary of the research http://wilkes.edu/~fdonahoe/phillips.html

The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics was shared by William D. Phillips, Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. For a summary of the research for which the prize was awarded see Physics Background William Phillips was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1948. The family moved to Camp Hill, PA where he grew up. He attended Juniata College where he received the BS degree summa cum laude in 1970. The research, for which he shared the Nobel Prize, was conducted at the National Institute of Science and Technology (f.k.a. NBS) Naturally, a research orientated, brilliant student of physics, matriculating at Juniata College had to have had some contact with the CPS-AAPT. After dilligent search in the extensive archives of the section, Ray Pfrogner located the reference to laureate Phillips' first research paper. At the annual meeting, April 18-19, 1969, at Wilkes College, paper #3 on Friday afternoon: The Electron Spin Resonance Spectrum of Chromic Chloride William Phillips , Juniata College We are proud of him as we are of all the talented students whose first research efforts were reported at our annual meetings. Congratulations, Dr. William D. Phillips, Nobel Laureate, 1997. This page last updated on Sunday, October 26, 1997 - 10:19:46 AM.
