Wittgenstein Prize to M. Arndt

摘要

Markus Arndt (University of Vienna) was awarded the EUR1.5 million Wittgenstein Prize from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture. He is thus recognized for his groundbreaking work in quantum research. Arndt investigates quantum optics with macromolecules, optics and interferometry of material waves, and incoherence in mesoscopic systems. He recently had a cover picture in Angewandte Chemie for his work on material wave interferometry as a complimentary method to mass spectrometry.
