Synopsis

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, about 200-page of new material has been added.

About this title

Review:

"World Scientific has performed a service for all with an interest in the most recent history of physics by inducing Cohen-Tannoudji to bring together--and by reproducing photographically in so well-produced a volume--this selection of his scientific papers... As the dates of publication of the papers in each section have relatively small temporal dispersion and the ordering of the sections is essentially chronologic, the volume gives the trajectory both of Cohen-Tannoudji's attention and of the development of his field. In this it is an effective complement to his recent systematic exposition: Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Jacques Dupont-Roc, and Gilbert Grynberg, Atom-Photon Interactions: Basic Processes and Applications (Wiley, 1992; translated from the French edition, 1988)."

highly recommended for physicists and students working on atoms in intense laser fields, laser cooling and trapping and Bose?Einstein condensation
