ISBN: 0120924609 ISBN-13: 9780120924608 Publisher: Academic Press OUR PRICE: $297.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 1996 Annotation: 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. |

| Publisher Description: The field of atom interferometry has expanded rapidly in recent years, and todays research laboratories are using atom interferometers both as inertial sensors and for precision measurements. Many researchers also use atom interferometry as a means of researching fundamental questions in quantum mechanics. Atom Interferometry contains contributions from theoretical and experimental physicists at the forefront of this rapidly developing field. Editor Paul R. Berman includes an excellent balance of background material and recent experimental results, providing a general overview of atom interferometry and demonstrating the promise that it holds for the future. |
