  Carl Wieman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Edwin Wieman (born March 26, 1951) is a Nobel-prize winning American physicist of the University of Colorado at Boulder who (with Eric Allin Cornell), in 1995, produced the first true Bose-Einstein condensate.
Wieman earned his B.S. in 1973 from MIT and his PhD.
In 2007 Wieman will join the University of British Columbia physics faculty and will head a well-endowed science education program there; he will retain a 20% appointment at CU to head the science education project he founded in Colorado.

 Coverage of Carl Wieman's talk
Wieman, with his co-discoverer of BEC, Eric Cornell of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, led a team of scientists in the late 1980s in experiments to achieve the extremely cold temperature -- the closest to absolute zero ever recorded.
Ironically, Wieman discovered that the very photons that make it possible for the atoms to slow down are also the photons that prevent the temperature from reaching absolute zero.
Wieman's achievement allows for the exploration of a whole new area of the quantum world.

Wieman was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics for his landmark creation of the world’s first Bose-Einstein condensate, a new form of matter that is created when a laboratory apparatus is used to chill a group of atoms to just a few hundred billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
Wieman was the first physicist to achieve a new form of matter called the Bose-Einstein condensate, a discovery that won him the Nobel Prize in 2001.
Wieman, a 1973 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also holds a doctorate from Stanford University and an honorary Doctorate of Science from the University of Chicago.
