Atomic Physics

Zusatztext The approach to the modern topics! in particular the many connections to the classical developments of the field is masterly done. Informationen zum Autor CJ Foot was a Junior Research Fellow of Jesus College in Oxford 1984-86, as well as being awarded the Lindemann Trust Fellowship at Stanford University 1984-85 and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship 1986-1991. In 1991, he became a university lecturer and was awarded the title of Professor of physics in 2002. He won the National Physical Laboratory Metrology Award in 1990. Klappentext This text will thoroughly update the existing literature on atomic physics. Intended to accompany an advanced undergraduate course in atomic physics! the book will lead the students up to the latest advances and the applications to Bose-Einstein Condensation of atoms! matter-wave inter-ferometry and quantum computing with trapped ions. The elementary atomic physics covered in the early chapters should be accessible to undergraduates when they are first introduced to the subject. 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. It includes ample tutorial material (examples! illustrations! chapter summaries! graded problem sets). Zusammenfassung This book describes atomic physics and the latest advances in this field at a level suitable for fourth year undergraduates. The numerous examples of the modern applications of atomic physics include Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms, matter-wave interferometry and quantum computing with trapped ions.
