Bloch Receives 2013 Körber European Science Prize

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
HAMBURG, Germany, June 14, 2013 — Experimental physicist Dr. Immanuel Bloch has received the 2013 Körber European Science Prize, presented by the Körber Foundation for his groundbreaking research in the field of quantum simulation with ultracold atoms. The annual prize, which is endowed with €750,000 (about $999,000), honors European scientists working on particularly innovative research projects in the physical and life sciences. In his experiments, Bloch has developed microscopic light crystals from laser beams in whose optical lattices ultracold atoms are trapped. This quantum simulator serves as...Read full article

    quantum optics
    The area of optics in which quantum theory is used to describe light in discrete units or "quanta" of energy known as photons. First observed by Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect, this particle description of light is the foundation for describing the transfer of energy (i.e. absorption and emission) in light matter interaction.
