Résumé
This book is primarily intended to accompany an advanced undergraduate course in atomic physics. However, the elementary atomic physics covered in the early chapters should be accessible to undergraduates when they are first introduced to the subject. The book describes some of the latest advances and the applications to Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms, matter-wave interferometry and quantum computing with trapped ions.
To complement the usual quantum mechanical treatment of atomic structure the book strongly emphasizes the experimental basis of the subject, especially in the later chapters. The text is supplemented with many exercises which are suitable for use in class. Books in this series are written at the final year undergraduate and beginning graduate level, and provide straightforward introductions to key utopics in physics today.
Background material and applications as well as pointers to more advanced work are included, atong with ample tutorial material, examples, illustrations, chapter summaries,and graded problem sets (with some answers and hints).
