This article reviews recent developments in tests of fundamental physics using atoms and
molecules, including the subjects of parity violation, searches for permanent electric dipole …

This paper reviews the recent theoretical and experimental advances in the study of ultra-
cold gases made of bosonic particles interacting via the long-range, anisotropic dipole …

Atom interferometers have been developed in the last three decades as new powerful tools
to investigate gravity. They were used for measuring the gravity acceleration, the gravity …

We describe a variety of searches for new physics beyond the standard model of particle
physics which may be enabled in the coming years by the use of optically levitated masses …

The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the
quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

Trap** and manipulating ultracold atoms and degenerate quantum gases in magnetic
micropotentials is reviewed. Starting with a comprehensive description of the basic concepts …

We propose an experiment using optically trapped and cooled dielectric micro-spheres for
the detection of short-range forces. The center-of-mass motion of a microsphere trapped in …

Here we review the field of atom chips in the context of Bose–Einstein Condensates (BEC)
as well as cold matter in general. Twenty years after the first realization of the BEC and 15 …

We report on the observation of Bloch oscillations on the unprecedented time scale of
several seconds. The experiment is carried out with ultracold bosonic Sr 88 atoms loaded …
