The aim of this book is to present review articles describing the
latest theoretical and experimental developments in the field of
cold atoms and molecules. Our hope is that this series will promote
research by both highlighting recent breakthroughs and by outlining
some of the most promising research directions in the field.

"French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in
his understanding of the modern theory and application of
atom-photon interactions. He is also known for his lucid and
accessible writing style ... Advances in Atomic Physics is an
impressive and wonderful-to-read reference text ... Certainly
researchers in the fields of atom-photon interactions and atom
traps will want it as a reference on their bookshelves ... A
selection of chapters may be of benefit to students: the early
chapters for those entering the field, the later chapters for those
already doing atom-laser PhD thesis work."Physics TodayThis book
presents a comprehensive overview of the spectacular advances seen
in atomic physics during the last 50 years. The authors explain how
such progress was possible by highlighting connections between
developments that occurred at different times. They discuss the new
perspectives and the new research fields that look promising. The
emphasis is placed, not on detailed calculations, but rather on
physical ideas. Combining both theoretical and experimental
considerations, the book will be of interest to a wide range of
students, teachers and researchers in quantum and atomic physics.
This is a book about laser cooling, a new research field with many potential applications. The authors present an original approach, using the tools and concepts of statistical physics. A new understanding of laser cooling, both intuitive and quantitative, is obtained. The volume also comprises a case study allowing non-Gaussian (Lévy) statistics, a technique being used more frequently in many different fields.

Covering a number of important subjects in quantum optics, this
textbook is an excellent introduction for advanced undergraduate
and beginning graduate students, familiarizing readers with the
basic concepts and formalism as well as the most recent advances.
The first part of the textbook covers the semi-classical approach
where matter is quantized, but light is not. It describes
significant phenomena in quantum optics, including the principles
of lasers. The second part is devoted to the full quantum
description of light and its interaction with matter, covering
topics such as spontaneous emission, and classical and
non-classical states of light. An overview of photon entanglement
and applications to quantum information is also given. In the third
part, non-linear optics and laser cooling of atoms are presented,
where using both approaches allows for a comprehensive description.
Each chapter describes basic concepts in detail, and more specific
concepts and phenomena are presented in 'complements'.

"The production quality is very high; even the smallest symbols are
easily readable, and some papers are reproduced in color. The
clarity of the exposition, the wide range of topics, and the logic
of the presentation make this a valuable teaching reference. This
book is highly recommended for physicists and students working on
atoms in intense laser fields, laser cooling and trapping and
Bose-Einstein condensation."Optics & Photonics NewsThis
invaluable book presents papers written during the last 40 years by
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his collaborators on various physical
effects which can be observed on atoms interacting with
electromagnetic fields. It consists of a personal selection of
review papers, lectures given at schools, as well as original
experimental and theoretical papers. Emphasis is placed on physical
mechanisms and on general approaches (such as the dressed atom
approach) having a wide range of applications. Various topics are
discussed, such as atoms in intense laser fields, photon
correlations, quantum jumps, radiative corrections, laser cooling
and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation. In this new edition,
about 200-page of new material has been added.
