Beschreibung
Laser cooling is a relatively new technique that has led to new insights into the behavior of atoms as well as confirming with striking detail some of the fundamental notions of quantum mechanics. This text for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students covers the foundations, the important techniques, and a broad range of applications: from atomic clocks and studies of collision processes to diffraction and interference of atomic beams at optical lattices and Bose-Einstein condensation.
