| Publisher Description: "French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in his understanding of the modern theory and application of atom-photon interactions. He is also known for his lucid and accessible writing style ... Advances in Atomic Physics is an impressive and wonderful-to-read reference text ... Certainly researchers in the fields of atom-photon interactions and atom traps will want it as a reference on their bookshelves ... A selection of chapters may be of benefit to students: the early chapters for those entering the field, the later chapters for those already doing atom-laser PhD thesis work."Physics TodayThis book presents a comprehensive overview of the spectacular advances seen in atomic physics during the last 50 years.
