Plenary Talk by Dr. William D. Phillips
Nobel Prize in Physics 1997

 

“A new measure: the quantum reform of the International System of Units”

 

The metric system began with the French revolution, and now we are experiencing the greatest revolution in measurement since the French revolution. The definitions of the kilogram, ampere, kelvin, and mole are all changed, being based on chosen and fixed values for Planck’s constant, the electron charge, Boltzmann’s constant, and Avogadro’s number. This talk will explain how this is possible and why it was necessary
