Apr 1, 2011 · During the 1980s Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Steven Chu, and William Phillips developed different methods for this. When atoms come in contact with light particles with fixed energies, photons, their movement is affected as if they had been bumped.

Dec 8, 1997 · The Nobel Prize in Physics 1997 was awarded jointly to Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and William D. Phillips "for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light"
Known for research in methods of laser cooling and trapping atoms, he collaborated with his colleagues at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) to build on the works of fellow physicists Steven Chu and William Daniel Phillips which led to new mechanisms for cooling and trapping atoms with laser light.
Apr 2, 2008 · Atomic clocks benefited as well. The latest generation uses techniques derived directly from what Phillips and others did in the 1980s. Phillips, Chu, and Cohen-Tannoudji won the Nobel Prize in 1997 for developing laser cooling; another prize in 2001 was awarded for the creation of Bose-Einstein condensates. –Jason Socrates Bardi
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is a French physicist who shared the 1997 physics prize with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips for developing the use of lasers to cool atoms to the extent that they move slowly enough to be examined in detail.
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips “for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.” Cohen-Tannoudji, an atomic physicist, developed a method of describing atoms in a coherent field known dressed states.
