Cooling and Trapping Atoms with Light: Atomic Clocks and Atom 'Lasers'
Lecture by Jeffrey Guest (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 23 Nov 2002
duration: 59:28, 25 slides

Summary of Talk:

Slower, colder atoms have led to higher-precision measurements, atom ‘lasers’, and, (as turnabout is fair play), slow light. Already, the world sets its watch to the internal clock of laser-cooled Cesium atoms; only time will tell what technical and scientific surprises cold atoms and quantum mechanics have in store.
