{"product_id":"9789814390583","title":"Advances in Atomic Physics: An Overview","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLight: A Source of Information on Atoms:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear Superpositions of Internal Atomic States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonance Fluorescence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvances in High Resolution Spectroscopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAtom-Photon Interactions: A Source of Perturbations forAtoms Which Can Be Useful:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerturbations Due to a Quasi Resonant Optical Excitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerturbations Due to a High Frequency Excitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAtom-Photon Interactions: A Simple System for Studying Higher Order Effects:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiphoton Processes Between Discrete States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotoionization of Atoms in Intense Laser fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAtom-Photon Interactions: A Tool for Controlling and Manipulating Atomic Motion:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiative Forces Exerted on a Two-Level Atom at Rest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser Cooling of Two-Level Atoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub-Doppler Cooling.
