Volume 54 of the Advances Series contains ten contributions,
covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and
optical physics. The article by Regal and Jin reviews the
properties of a Fermi degenerate gas of cold potassium atoms in the
crossover regime between the Bose-Einstein condensation of
molecules and the condensation of fermionic atom pairs. The
transition between the two regions can be probed by varying an
external magnetic field. Sherson, Julsgaard and Polzik explore the
manner in which light and atoms can be entangled, with applications
to quantum information processing and communication. They report on
the result of recent experiments involving the entanglement of
distant objects and quantum memory of light. Recent developments in
cold Rydberg atom physics are reviewed in the article by Choi,
Kaufmann, Cubel-Liebisch, Reinhard, and Raithel. Fascinating
experiments are described in which cold, highly excited atoms
(???Rydberg??? atoms) and cold plasmas are generated. Evidence for
a collective excitation of Rydberg matter is also presented.
Griffiin and Pindzola offer an account of non-perturbative quantal
methods for electron-atom scattering processes. Included in the
discussion are the R-matrix with pseudo-states method and the
time-dependent close-coupling method. An extensive review of the
R-matrix theory of atomic, molecular, and optical processes is
given by Burke, Noble, and Burke. They present a systematic
development of the R-matrix method and its applications to various
processes such as electron-atom scattering, atomic photoionization,
electron-molecule scattering, positron-atom scattering, and
atomic/molecular multiphoton processes. Electron impactexcitation
of rare-gas atoms from both their ground and metastable states is
discussed in the article by Boffard, Jung, Anderson, and Lin.
Excitation cross sections measured by the optical method are
reviewed with emphasis on the physical interpretation in terms of
electronic structure of the target atoms. Ozier and Moazzen-Ahmadi
explore internal rotation of symmetric top molecules. Developments
of new experimental methods based on high-resolution torsional,
vibrational, and molecular beam spectroscopy allow accurate
determination of internal barriers for these symmetric molecules.
The subject of attosecond and angstrom science is reviewed by
Niikura and Corkum. The underlying physical mechanisms allowing one
to generate attosecond radiation pulses are described and the
technology needed for the preparation of such pulses is discussed.
LeGou??t, Bretenaker, and Lorger?? describe how rare earth ions
embedded in crystals can be used for processing optically carried
broadband radio-frequency signals. Methods for reaching tens of
gigahertz instantaneous bandwidth with submegahertz resolution
using such devices are analyzed in detail and demonstrated
experimentally. Finally, in the article by Illing, Gauthier, and
Roy, it is shown that small perturbations applied to optical
systems can be used to suppress or control optical chaos,
spatio-temporal dynamics, and patterns. Applications of these
techniques to communications, laser stabilization, and improving
the sensitivity of low-light optical switches are explored.
