| - Randall Gardner Hulet (* 27. April 1956 in Walnut Creek, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Physiker. Hulet studierte an der Stanford University mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1978 und wurde 1984 am Massachusetts Institute of Technology bei Daniel Kleppner promoviert. Danach war er am National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder bei David Wineland. 1987 wurde er Assistant Professor, 1992 Associate Professor und 1996 Professor für Physik an der Rice University, an der er 2000 zum Fayez Sarofim Professor ernannt wurde. Er ist ein Pionier der Experimente mit ultrakalten Atomen und Bose-Einstein-Kondensaten (BEC). Er ist für die erste Realisierung eines Bose-Einstein-Kondensats in einem Atomgas mit attraktiver Wechselwirkung (Gas aus Lithiumatomen) bekannt, wobei die Formung des BEC mit der gewöhnlichen Kondensation aufgrund der attraktiven Wechselwirkung in Konkurrenz steht. Bei genügend vielen Gasatomen kollabiert (kondensiert) das Gas und Hulet gelang auch die erste Beobachtung von Bildung und Kollaps eines BEC. Außerdem gelang ihm die erste Beobachtung von polarisiertem entartetem Fermigas (und Mischungen von Bose- und Fermigasen, entsprechend bosonischen und fermionischen Isotopen von Lithium) und Materiewellen-Solitonen in Bose-Einstein-Kondensaten. Er untersucht mit seiner Gruppe optische Gitter ultrakalter Atome als Modell von Systemen der Festkörperphysik, unter anderem Hochtemperatursupraleiter (HTS) über ein Hubbard-Modell aus ultrakalten Atomen mit zwei Spinkomponenten (wobei sie antiferromagnetische Eigenschaften nachweisen konnten wie bei HTS) und p-Wellen Supraflüssigkeiten als mögliche topologische Supraflüssigkeiten (mit Vincent Liu). Außerdem untersucht seine Gruppe mit ultrakalten Atomen Wenigteilchensysteme von Bosonen mit resonanten Wechselwirkungen. Für 2017 erhielt er den Herbert-Walther-Preis. Er erhielt 1995 den I. I. Rabi Prize der American Physical Society und 1989 den Presidential Young Investigator Award der National Science Foundation. 1988 wurde er Forschungsstipendiat der Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (Sloan Research Fellow). Er ist Fellow der American Association for the Advancement of Science und der American Physical Society. Hulet ist Ehrendoktor der Universität Utrecht. (de)

He was appointed Fayez Sarofim Professor of Physics and Astronomy in 2000. He is a pioneer of experiments with ultracold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). He is known for the first realization of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an atomic gas with attractive interaction, where the formation of the BEC competes with the usual condensation due to the attractive interaction. With enough atoms, an attractively interacting BEC becomes unstable, and Hulet's group was the first to observe such a system collapse. Another major achievement working with bosons was his realization of matter wave solitons in a BEC. Hulet has also performed pioneering experiments with degenerate Fermi gases. He achieved the first observation of a polarized degenerate Fermi gas, realized a degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture, and studied spin-imbalanced Fermi gases, including a possible realization of the FFLO state in a 1D system. His group has investigated fermions in optical lattices as a model of systems of solid-state physics, and observed short-range antiferromagnetism in a Hubbard system, similar to physics also observed in the cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Hulet has received a number of awards for his work, including the in 2017, the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics in 2011, the I. I. Rabi Prize of the American Physical Society in 1995, and a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation in 1989. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Physical Society. Hulet is an honorary doctor of the University of Utrecht. (en)
