Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

Volume 54 of the Advances Series contains the contribution of atomic molecules, molecular and optical physics. The article by Regal and Jin reviews the properties of Fermi degenerate gas of cold in the crossover regime between the Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules and the condensation of fermionic atom pairs. The transition between the two regions can be probed by varying an external magnetic field. Sherson, Julsgaard and Polzik explore the manner in quantum information and communication. They report on the subject of recent experiments and the quantum memory of light. Recent developments in cold Rydberg atom physics are reviewed in the article by Choi, Kaufmann, Cubel-Liebisch, Reinhard, and Raithel. Fascinating experiments are described in cold, highly excited atoms ("Rydberg" atoms) and cold plasmas are generated. Evidence for a collective exclusion of Rydberg matter is also presented. Griffiin and Pindzola offer an account of non-perturbative quantum methods for electron-atom scattering processes. Included in the discussion are the R-matrix with pseudo-states method and the time-dependent close-coupling method. An extensive review of the R-matrix theory of atomic, molecular, and optical processes is given by Burke, Noble, and Burke. They present a systematic development of atomic scattering, atomic photoionization, electron-molecule scattering, positron-atom scattering, and atomic / molecular multiphoton processes. Electron impact exclusion of Boffard, Jung, Anderson, and Lin. Excitation cross-sections of the optical method. Ozier and Moazzen-Ahmadi. Discover the internal rotation of symmetric top molecules. Developments of new experiments based on high-resolution torsional, vibrational, and molecular beam spectroscopy. The subject of attosecond and angstrom science is reviewed by Niikura and Corkum. The underlying physical assurance is to generate the pulsed is described. LeGouët, Bretenaker, and Lorgeré describe how rare earths broadband radio-frequency signals. Methods for reaching tens of gigahertz. Instantaneous bandwidth with submegahertz resolution. Finally, in the article by Illing, Gauthier, and Roy, it is shown that it can be used to suppress optical control, spatio-temporal dynamics, and patterns. Applications of these techniques to communications, laser stabilization, and improving the sensitivity of low-light optical switches are explored.
