Progress in atomic physics has been so vigorous during the past
decade that one is hard pressed to follow all the new developments.
In the early 1990s the first atom interferometers opened a new
field in which we have been able to use the wave nature of atoms to
probe fundamental quantum me chanics questions as well as to make
precision measurements. Coming fast on the heels of this
development was the demonstration of Bose Einstein condensation in
dilute atomic vapors which intensified research interest in
studying the wave nature of matter, especially in a domain in which
"macro scopic" quantum effects (vortices, stimulated scattering of
atomic beams) are visible. At the same time there has been much
progress in our understanding of the behavior of waves (notably
electromagnetic) in complex media, both periodic and disordered. An
obvious topic of speculation and probably of future research is
whether any new insight or applications will develop if one
examines the behavior of de Broglie waves in analogous situations.
Finally, our ability to manipulate atoms has allowed us not only to
create macroscopically occupied quantum states but also to exercise
fine control over the quantum states of a small number of atoms.
This has advanced to the study of quantum entanglement and its
relation to the theory of measurement and the theory of
information. The 1990s have also seen an explosion of interest in
an exciting potential application of this fine control: quantum
computation and quantum cryptography.
