Wolfgang Ketterle spends much of his time researching Bose–Einstein condensate, Condensed matter physics, Atomic physics, Superfluidity and Quantum mechanics. His research in Bose–Einstein condensate is mostly focused on Bose gas. His study in Condensed matter physics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atom, Light scattering and Vortex.
His studies in Atomic physics integrate themes in fields like Ultracold atom, Quasiparticle, Atom laser and Evaporative cooler. His Superfluidity research incorporates elements of Fermion, Quantum phase transition, Fermi gas and Spin-½. In general Quantum mechanics study, his work on Boson, Coherence time and Astronomical interferometer often relates to the realm of Diffusion, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His primary scientific interests are in Atomic physics, Bose–Einstein condensate, Condensed matter physics, Quantum mechanics and Superfluidity. His Atomic physics study incorporates themes from Atom, Feshbach resonance, Molecule, Condensation and Magnetic field. His Bose–Einstein condensate research focuses on Matter wave and how it relates to Scattering.
His Condensed matter physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fermion, Ultracold atom, Quantum and Fermi gas. His Fermi gas research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fermi energy and Pairing. His Superfluidity research includes elements of Phase transition, Quantum phase transition and Optical lattice.
Wolfgang Ketterle mainly investigates Atomic physics, Condensed matter physics, Molecule, Ultracold atom and Quantum mechanics. His Atomic physics study focuses on Excited state in particular. His Condensed matter physics research includes themes of Fermion, Boson and Fermi gas.
His Fermion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Feshbach resonance and Photon. Quantum mechanics is a component of his Hamiltonian, Bose–Einstein condensate and Quantum Hall effect studies. His Bose–Einstein condensate study combines topics in areas such as Scattering and Superfluidity.
His main research concerns Condensed matter physics, Ultracold atom, Atomic physics, Quantum mechanics and Fermion. A large part of his Condensed matter physics studies is devoted to Superfluidity. He has included themes like Spin and Fermi gas in his Ultracold atom study.
His research integrates issues of Zeeman slower, Flux, Beam, Feshbach resonance and van der Waals force in his study of Atomic physics. His is doing research in Hamiltonian, Bose–Einstein condensate and Quantum tunnelling, both of which are found in Quantum mechanics. The concepts of his Bose–Einstein condensate study are interwoven with issues in Field and Condensation.
