Atoms In Electromagnetic Fields (World Scientific Series on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics)

This invaluable book presents papers written during the last 40 years by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his collaborators on various physical effects which can be observed on atoms interacting with electromagnetic fields. It consists of a personal selection of review papers, lectures given at schools, as well as original experimental and theoretical papers. Emphasis is placed on physical mechanisms and on general approaches (such as the dressed atom approach) having a wide range of applications. Various topics are discussed, such as atoms in intense laser fields, photon correlations, quantum jumps, radiative corrections, laser cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation. In this new edition, reprints of few papers published after 1992 have been added.Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is the author of 'Atoms In Electromagnetic Fields (World Scientific Series on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics)' with ISBN 9789812389428 and ISBN 9812389423.
