Professor Dr. Artur Widera, who researches quantum systems at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUK), has been honored by the American Physical Society (APS) as an Outstanding Referee. The award is given annually to a small number of the more than 74,000 referees worldwide of the APS. The society recognizes this for their voluntary work in reviewing scientific manuscripts.

Before a scientific article is published in a specialized journal, experts review the quality of the content to maintain high scientific standards, readability, and publication quality. Professor Widera also reviews numerous contributions from atomic and quantum physics each year, including for the renowned "Physical Review" journals of the APS. The editors of the APS commend him for a high level of quality, a large number of reviews, and punctuality in his work. They now honor him, along with 147 other researchers worldwide, as an APS Outstanding Referee 2020.

Professor Dr. Artur Widera has been researching since 2010 at TU Kaiserslautern on individual quantum systems and ultracold superfluids, among other topics, including quantum control at the atomic level.
