Description

This book gathers the lecture notes of courses given at Session CVII of the summer school in physics, entitled �Current Trends in Atomic Physics� and held in July, 2016 in Les Houches, France. Atomic physics provides a paradigm for exploring few-body quantum systems with unparalleled control. In recent years, this ability has been applied in diverse areas including condensed matter physics, high energy physics, chemistry and ultra-fast phenomena as well as foundational aspects of quantum physics. This book addresses these topics by presenting developments and current trends via a series of tutorials and lectures presented by international leading investigators.Typham this is the title: Current Trends in Atomic Physics 1st Edition
