Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

Volume 55 of the Advances Series contains atomic, molecular and optical physics. In their contribution, Stowe, Thorpe, Pe'er, Ye, Stalnaker, Gerginov, and Diddams explore recent developments in direct frequency comb spectopy. Precise phase cohrence among successive ultrashort pulses of high frequency domain and high-resolution structural domain for both atoms and molecules. The authors provide a detailed feature of combining the spectroscope and discuss its future directions. Yurvsky, Olshanii and Weiss review theory and experiment of elongated atom trap that confine ultracold gases in a quasi-one-dimensional regime. Under certain conditions, these quasi-one-dimensional gases are well-described by integrable one-dimensional multiple-body models with exact quantum solutions. Thermodynamic and correlation properties of one such model that has been experimentally realized are reviewed. DePaola, Morgenstein and Andersen discuss magneto-optical trap recoil ion momentum spectroscopy (MOTRIMS), exploring collisions between the project and the target load in the target fragments. MOTRIMS combines the technology of the cooling fragments of the momentum. The authors review the different MOTRIMS experimental approaches and the spectroscopic and collisional investigations performed so far. Safronova and Johnson give an overview of the atomic many-body perturbation theory. They present "all-order" results based on a linearized version of energies, transition matrix elements and hyperfine constants. Another contribution on atomic theory, authored by Fischer, explores the benefits of the atomic radial wave functions in a B-spline basis. The differential equations are replaced by non-linear systems. Electron-ion collisional works are analyzed by Mueller, including descriptions of the cross-sectional experiments. The aforementioned laboratory. A present in the field of astrophysical plasmas. Finally, Duan and Monroe review ways to achieve scalable and robust quantum communication, state engineering, and quantum computation. Using radiation and atoms, ions, or atomic ensembles, they show in scalable quantum networks that are inherently insensitive to noise. Progress in experimental projects is outlined.
