Description

This book gathers the lecture notes of courses given at Session CVII of the summer school in physics, entitled "Current Trends in Atomic Physics" and held in July, 2016 in Les Houches, France.

Atomic physics provides a paradigm for exploring few-body quantum systems with unparalleled control.

In recent years, this ability has been applied in diverse areas including condensed matter physics, high energy physics, chemistry and ultra-fast phenomena as well as foundational aspects of quantum physics.

This book addresses these topics by presenting developments and current trends via a series of tutorials and lectures presented by international leading investigators.
