Conference Published on 03/10/2017

We have the privilege to receive Claude Cohen-Tannoudji for a lecture dedicated to laser cooling ( techniques in which atomic and molecular samples are cooled down to near absolute zero through the interaction with one or more laser fields ) and doppler cooling (use of magnetic trapping force to give a magneto-optical trap).

This lecture is given to first year students following Quantum and Statistical Physics courses.

The lecture will take place in Amphi 2 at 11.30 am on March, 20 th. It will be brodcasted on the Web through this URL:  https://webtv.ecp.fr/lives/live-easycast-s23/

Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (born 1 April 1933) is a French physicist. He shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics with Steven Chu and William Daniel Phillips for research in methods of laser cooling and trapping atoms. He is still an active researcher, working at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
