Content:
'Laser Control of Atoms and Molecules' treats laser light as a universal tool to control matter at the atomic and molecular level. They can heat matter, cool atoms to ultra-low temperatures, where they show quantum collective behaviour, and can act selectively on specific atoms and molecules for their detection and separation.
