As a postdoctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1978, I trolled the literature, seeking inspiration for my career as an experimental physicist. One article that caught my attention described the first laser-cooling experiment. David Wineland et al. at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) in Boulder, CO, had trapped a cloud of hot (about 700 K) ions and cooled them to near absolute zero (T < 40 K) by shining light on them (1). (See also ref. 2, which reports an independent and nearly simultaneous demonstration of laser cooling of ions.) Later that year, I was hired by NBS in Gaithersburg, MD and, inspired by Wineland’s landmark experiment, began to work on laser-cooling of neutral atoms. Earlier, in 1975 with Hans Dehmelt, Wineland had first proposed laser cooling (3), simultaneously with Ted Hansch and Art Schawlow (4). I often talk about laser-cooling, showing a slide of the idea’s origins and remarking that among Wineland, Dehmelt, Hansch, and Schwalow, three had received Nobel prizes in physics. On October 9, 2012, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences completed the foursome by awarding the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics to David Wineland. The award …
