1998 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation In recognition of his fundamental contributions to the quantum optics of atoms

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Photon
  • Laser

Atomic physics, Laser, Ion, Quantum mechanics and Optics are his primary areas of study. His research on Atomic physics focuses in particular on Excited state. His Laser research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electron, Above threshold ionization and Radiation pressure.

His Ion study combines topics in areas such as Laser cooling, Phase transition and Optical cavity. His research investigates the link between Optics and topics such as Phase that cross with problems in Amplitude. His research in Photon intersects with topics in Atom, Trapping, Maser and Position.

His most cited work include:

  • Absolute-phase phenomena in photoionization with few-cycle laser pulses (521 citations)
  • Extracting Work from a Single Heat Bath via Vanishing Quantum Coherence (463 citations)
  • Above-threshold ionization: From classical features to quantum effects (455 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Herbert Walther mostly deals with Atomic physics, Laser, Optics, Quantum mechanics and Ion. His Atomic physics research incorporates elements of Rydberg atom, Ionization, Maser and Photon. The Laser study combines topics in areas such as Wavelength, Spectroscopy, Resonance, Radiation and Electron.

Herbert Walther combines subjects such as Optoelectronics and Quantum tunnelling with his study of Optics. His Quantum mechanics study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Quantum electrodynamics. His studies deal with areas such as Laser cooling, Resonance fluorescence, Indium and Sideband as well as Ion.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Herbert Walther mainly focuses on Laser, Optics, Atomic physics, Photon and Ion. His Laser research includes elements of Spectroscopy, Electron and Maser. His work in Optics covers topics such as Phase which are related to areas like Linear polarization.

His work carried out in the field of Atomic physics brings together such families of science as Optical cavity, Quantum optics, Chaotic scattering, Excitation and Resonator. Photon is a subfield of Quantum mechanics that Herbert Walther investigates. In his study, Sideband and Optical frequencies is inextricably linked to Indium, which falls within the broad field of Ion.

Between 2004 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Attosecond double-slit experiment. (286 citations)
  • Attosecond double-slit experiment. (286 citations)
  • Limits on gravitational-wave emission from selected pulsars using LIGO data. (120 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Photon
  • Electron

His primary areas of investigation include Gravitational wave, Astrophysics, LIGO, Astronomy and Optics. The Gravitational wave study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Detector, Neutron star and Binary star. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Amplitude, concentrating on Pulsar and frequently concerns with Gravitation and Phase.

His work deals with themes such as Frequency band, Bandwidth and Coincident, which intersect with Detector. His Optics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electron and Photoionization. Laser is closely attributed to Astronomical interferometer in his work.
