In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernard Diu\u003c\/b\u003e (1935-2025) was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII).
