✦ Synopsis

"Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics" is the study of matter - matter and light-matter interactions on the scale of single atoms or structures containing a few atoms. The three areas are grouped together because of their interrelationships, the similarity of methods used, and the commonality of the energy scales that are relevant. All three areas include both classical and quantum treatments. This book presents the latest research from around the world.
