Last year marked the 20th birthday of a remarkable paper that has changed the entire field of quantum physics. Experimental physicist Immanuel Bloch describes the significance of this paper by Dieter Jaksch, Christoph Bruder, Ignacio Cirac, Crispin Gardiner, and Peter Zoller in a recent review in Nature Physics.
Experimental physicist Petar Jurcevic, a former member of Rainer Blatt’s research group, will receive the IQOQI Dissertation Prize 2018. This is already the fifth time that this prize, valued at 1,000 Euro, will be awarded. It honors scientifically outstanding accomplishments in the field of quantum physics.
