By Dieter Suter
This booklet presents a throrough advent to the interplay of atoms and atomic ions with optical and magnetic fields. the writer areas specific emphasis at the wealth of significant multilevel results, the place atomic vapors convey anisotropic habit. in addition to masking the vintage two-level atom method of light-atom interactions, Suter describes intimately a basic multilevel formalism, which he makes use of to debate optical pumping, two-dimensional spectroscopy and nonlinear optical dynamics. the ultimate bankruptcy offers with the mechanical results of sunshine, together with the cooling and trapping of atoms. With complete theoretical and experimental insurance, and over 250 illustrations, the ebook can be of serious curiosity to graduate scholars of laser spectroscopy, quantum electronics and quantum optics, and to researchers in those fields.

In der Quantentheorie werden Observable durch Operatoren im Hilbert-Raum dargestellt. Der dafür geeignete mathematische Rahmen sind die Cx - Algebren, welche Matrizen und komplexe Funktionen verallgemeinern. Allerdings benötigt guy in der Physik auch unbeschränkte Operatoren, deren Problematik eigens untersucht werden muß.

Is the same for distinguishable and indistinguishable statistics). 2. Consider a gas where the particles can only move on the surface of a plane and thus are restricted to two-dimensional motion. 2, find the density of states, partition function, and internal energy for this two-dimensional system, , 3. What is the root-mean-square speed of a nitrogen molecule at room temperature? 4. Show that the ratio of the mean-square-speed to the square of the mean speed of the particles in a gas is 3rt/8.
