Atom Interferometry

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Paul Berman is currently Professor of Physics at the University of Michigan. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society! and a member of the Optical Society of America. Nonlinear spectroscopy! atomic physics! quantum optics! and atom interferometry are the major fields of Dr. Berman's research. Academic Press published one other book by this author! Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (1995). Klappentext In the past several years! there have been many important developments in the rapidly emerging field of atom interferometry. Atom interferometers have been constructed by several research groups around the world and used both as inertial sensors and for precision measurements. Also! atom interferometers allow researchers to probe interesting fundamental questions in quantum mechanics. This volume contains contributions from theoretical and experimental physicists at the forefront of these developments. There is a balance of background material and recent results that will enable the reader to acquire both a general overview of atom interferometry and an appreciation of the promise it holds for the future. Zusammenfassung Research laboratories are using atom interferometers both as inertial sensors and for precision measurements. This work explains the many important applications of atom interferometry! from a measurement of the gravitational constant to atom lithography. It also examines applications of atom interferometry to important quantum mechanics problems. Inhaltsverzeichnis J. Schmiedmayer! M.S. Chapman! C.R. Ekstrom! T.D. Hammond! D.A. Kokorowski! A. Lenef!
