Description
American Institute of Physics Atomic Physics V. 17 Xvii International Conference On Atomic Physics - Icap 2000 by E. Arimondo, Paulo De Natale, Massimo Inguscio
The papers of this international conference present the most recent advances in atomic physics, which presently encompasses a number of branches in rapid development, representing the cutting edge of frontier physics. Some of the main topics presented are: recent advances in the study of ultra-cold matter, determination of fundamental constants, study of single atoms and molecules, atomic clocks, quantum entanglement and computing, ultrafast dynamics, quantum electro-dynamics calculations, and detection of gravitational waves. This conference is the most important international forum for atomic physics and applications.
