Martin Zweierlein

In today's episode, W. Scott Olsen speaks with Martin Zweierlein, a physics professor at MIT and a pioneer in quantum gas research. In 2025, his team became the first to photograph individual, freely moving atoms, capturing stunning images of quantum behaviors like fermionic anti-bunching and bosonic clustering. This breakthrough offers rare visual proof of long theorized quantum effects.
