Overview

“French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in his understanding of the modern theory and application of atom-photon interactions. He is also known for his lucid and accessible writing style … Advances in Atomic Physics is an impressive and wonderful-to-read reference text … Certainly researchers in the fields of atom-photon interactions and atom traps will want it as a reference on their bookshelves … A selection of chapters may be of benefit to students: the early chapters for those entering the field, the later chapters for those already doing atom-laser PhD thesis work.”Physics TodayThis book presents a comprehensive overview of the spectacular advances seen in atomic physics during the last 50 years. The authors explain how such progress was possible by highlighting connections between developments that occurred at different times. They discuss the new perspectives and the new research fields that look promising. The emphasis is placed, not on detailed calculations, but rather on physical ideas. Combining both theoretical and experimental considerations, the book will be of interest to a wide range of students, teachers and researchers in quantum and atomic physics.

Reviews

It is a most-interesting collection of topics organized in a unique and interesting way. -- Steve Harris Stanford University I think that this book will be of high value for the scientific community involved in atomic physics and in general for students and researchers interested in the last applications of quantum physics, both from an experimental and theoretical perspective. -- Sandro Stringari CNR-INO Center on Bose-Einstein Condensation, University of Trento, Italy Advances in Atomic Physics is destined to become a classic guide, handbook and textbook for students, teachers and researchers in modern atomic physics, but it will also be surely appreciated for the clear and engaging historical presentation of theoretical, experimental and instrumental developments -- II Nuovo Saggiatore II Nuovo Saggiatore For young students just beginning an education in atomic physics to experienced researchers like myself who have lived through many of the exciting and still ongoing developments recounted here, and for all those in between, this book presents an inviting feast. Bon app tit! -- William D Phillips Nobel Laureate 1997, University of Maryland It is a great occasion that Claude Cohen-Tannoudji as a true master of the AMO field took the effort to summarize the experience of a lifetime in a comprehensive text. David Gu ry-Odelin is the ideal sparring partner on such an enterprise. This impressive new book offers a unique overview over half a century of advances in atomic physics. -- Jook Walraven University of Amsterdam French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in his understanding of the modern theory and application of atom-photon interactions. He is also known for his lucid and accessible writing style. Advances in Atomic Physics is an impressive and wonderful-to-read reference text. -- Physics Today Physics Today
