Peter Schauss is this year’s winner of an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation fellowship for his work with ultra-cold quantum gases and quantum many-body physics. Peter has pioneered the development of “quantum gas microscopy” techniques for probing many-body physics in ultra-cold quantum gases.  Schauss’ group designed and built a new quantum gas microscope, and demonstrated site-resolved imaging of ultracold fermionic atoms trapped in a triangular optical lattice.
