Atomic Physics: Precise Measurements and Ultracold Matter
Inguscio, Massimo (Full Professor, Full Professor, University of Florence & LENS European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy) / Fallani, Leonardo (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, University of Florence & LENS European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy)
This book traces the evolution of Atomic Physics from precision spectroscopy to the manipulation of atoms at a billionth of a degree above absolute zero. Quantum worlds can be simulated and fundamental theories, such as General Relativity and Quantum Electrodynamics, can be tested with table-top experiments.
