Inhaltsangabe

The last four decades have witnessed a renaissance of atomic physics thanks to the spectacular theoretical and experimental achievements in atom cooling and trapping. These advancements have made major contributions to achieving complete control over single quantum systems. Applications such as atom lasers, quantum computers, optical tweezers, atomic conveyor belts, quantum simulators, among others, will be fundamental to future technologies.

This book - whose author has been actively researching the field for about three decades - is the first to popularize the field of cold atomic physics and helps a broad audience fully appreciate the mentioned advancements. It provides the basic prerequisite knowledge of the field, as well as its historical and scientific roots, and its most important applications. Its extensive glossary will help to acquaint readers with the terminology of the field.

Taming Atoms is written for science students, science fans, educators, and science communicators. The rich bibliography will be useful for graduate students and researchers in the field.
