1. He graduated and got
a diploma from Technical
University of Munich and
Ph.D. in physics from the
University of Munich. 2. His observation of
Bose-Einstein condensation
in a gas in 1995 and the
first realization of an atom
laser in 1997 were recognized with the Nobel
Prize in Physics in 2001.

7. He made several
seminal studies of the
properties of Bose-Einstein condensates.8. He developed an
optical trap to confine
condensates and transport them over large distances.
