This book illustrates the history of Atomic Physics and shows how
its most recent advances allow the possibility of performing
precise measurements and achieving an accurate control on the
atomic state. Written in an introductory style, this book is
addressed to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well
as to more experienced researchers who need to remain up-to-date
with the most recent advances. The book focuses on experimental
investigations, illustrating milestone experiments and key
experimental techniques, and discusses the results and the
challenges of contemporary research. Emphasis is put on the
investigations of precision physics: from the determination of
fundamental constants of Nature to tests of General Relativity and
Quantum Electrodynamics; from the realization of ultra-stable
atomic clocks to the precise simulation of condensed matter
theories with ultracold gases. The book discusses these topics
while tracing the evolution of experimental Atomic Physics from
traditional laser spectroscopy to the revolution introduced by
laser cooling, which allows the manipulation of atoms at a
billionth of a degree above absolute zero and reveals new frontiers
of precision in atomic spectroscopy.
