Abstract

The physics of ultracold atoms and molecules is extensively surveyed, including phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation, strongly interacting quantum gases and ultracold molecules. Arising from a combined workshop and training school, the book contains tutorial introductions on optical cooling, quantum collisions, experimental methods, degenerate gases, and cold molecules. Topical reports review the main research lines in the field of atomic and molecular quantum gases, and many short contributions highlight specific recent achievements. Numerous highly-renowned researchers have contributed to this book, making it equally useful as an introductory text for the advanced student and the senior researcher.
