<? pag\vskip-16pt?> Harnessing linear and angular momenta of light is one of the
cornerstones in modern optics and has found tremendous applications in optical circuits …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body
phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases. It focuses on effects beyond standard weak-coupling …

For a system at a temperature of absolute zero, all thermal fluctuations are frozen out, while
quantum fluctuations prevail. These microscopic quantum fluctuations can induce a …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses optical dipole traps for neutral atoms. Methods
for storage and trap** of charged and neutral particles have very often served as the …

In 1978, while I was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, I read a paper by Art Ashkin (1978) in
which he described how one might slow down an atomic beam of sodium using the radiation …

The techniques of optical trap** and manipulation of neutral particles by lasers provide
unique means to control the dynamics of small particles. These new experimental methods …

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are
routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as …

Laser-cooling of atoms and atom-trap** are finding increasing application in many areas
of science. One important use of laser-cooled atoms is in atom interferometers. In these …
