A theoretical physicist who studied the foundations of quantum mechanics. In a 2000 proposal, he examined whether requiring an appropriate classical limit constrains the statistical interpretation of discrete quantum variables such as spin. The argument deliberately stopped short of a complete derivation: it did not establish the probability interpretation for continuous position variables. This makes the assumptions and limits of an interpretive proposal explicit.^[ref]

An experimental contributor to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory’s study of solar neutrinos. A neutral current reaction measured the total active-neutrino flux, while a separate reaction preferentially measured electron neutrinos. Comparing the two showed that some neutrinos reached Earth in a different flavor, supplying direct evidence for solar-neutrino flavor transformation.^[ref]

An experimental contributor to the Super-Kamiokande measurement of atmospheric neutrinos. The team found that the observed muon-neutrino population depended on arrival direction, hence on distance traveled through or around Earth. This path-length dependence supplied evidence for neutrino oscillations, connecting an underground particle detector with changes in neutrino flavor during propagation.^[ref]

Y. Toyoda coauthored a method for growing gallium nitride on sapphire by metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy, introducing an aluminium nitride layer before the main film. The films had flat, crack-free surfaces, with X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence used to assess their quality.^[ref]

Nobuhiko Sawaki coauthored a method for growing gallium nitride on sapphire by metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy, introducing an aluminium nitride layer before the main film. The films had flat, crack-free surfaces, with X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence used to assess their quality.^[ref]

Naruhito Iwasa coauthored experiments on p-type semiconductor behavior in gallium nitride. Contrasting annealing in nitrogen and ammonia linked changes in electrical resistivity to hydrogen; the authors proposed neutral complexes of hydrogen and acceptor impurities as a mechanism reducing mobile electron holes.^[ref]

Masayuki Senoh coauthored work on blue light-emitting diodes using an indium gallium nitride/aluminium gallium nitride double heterostructure. The devices emitted near $450$ nm and reached $2.7\%$ external quantum efficiency at $20$ mA electric current.^[ref]

An atomic-physics researcher whose joint work demonstrated resolved sideband cooling of a bound ion to near the lowest available motional energy. Resolving individual vibrational sidebands lets light selectively remove excitation, extending laser cooling from a broad temperature reduction to preparation of a particular quantum state.^[ref]

A researcher whose team used resolved sideband cooling to prepare the motion of a single trapped ion. The experiment measured a high probability of occupying the three-dimensional motional ground state, providing controlled starting conditions for operations that couple internal atomic states to vibration.^[ref]

An experimental researcher whose joint work cooled a trapped beryllium ion close to its three-dimensional motional ground state. Resolved sideband cooling uses transitions that remove vibrational quanta. Preparing this low-excitation motion makes later control of internal and motional quantum states more reliable.^[ref]

Interviewer.

Coauthored measurements of iron/chromium/iron layers showing increased electrical resistivity for antiparallel layer magnetizations. The effect exceeded ordinary anisotropic magnetoresistance and strengthened with additional iron layers. ^[ref]
