Wolfgang Ketterle

On May 20, the definitions for the units of mass, charge, temperature and mole will change. This is a major change in the international system of units, eliminating all man-made objects from these definitions. This talk will provide some historical background and motivation for defining fundamental base units. However, the main focus of the talk...
