OverviewAs part of the Physics 2010 decadal survey project, the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation requested that the National Research Council assess the opportunities, over roughly the next decade, in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) science and technology. In particular, the National Research Council was asked to cover the state of AMO science, emphasizing recent accomplishments and identifying new and compelling scientific questions. Controlling the Quantum World, discusses both the roles and challenges for AMO science in instrumentation; scientific research near absolute zero; development of extremely intense x-ray and laser sources; exploration and control of molecular processes; photonics at the nanoscale level; and development of quantum information technology. This book also offers an assessment of and recommendations about critical issues concerning maintaining U.S. leadership in AMO science and technology.Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Controlling the Quantum World: AMO Science in the Coming Decade 2 AMO Science and the Basic Laws of Nature 3 Toward Absolute Zero 4 Extreme Light 5 Exploring and Controlling the Inner Workings of a Molecule 6 Photonics and the Nanoworld 7 Quantum Information with Light and Atoms 8 Realizing the Future Appendix A: AMO 2010 Queries to Federal Funding Agencies Appendix B: Funding Appendix C: Foreign Activity in AMO Science Appendix D: Intellectual Outlines of Current Research Appendix E: People Appendix F: New Research Modalities Full Product DetailsAuthor: National Research Council , Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences , Board on Physics and Astronomy , Committee on AMO 2010Publisher: National Academies Press Imprint: National Academies Press Dimensions: Width: 17.80cm , Height: 1.30cm , Length: 25.40cm Weight: 0.599kg ISBN: 9780309102704ISBN 10: 0309102707 Pages: 244 Publication Date: 21 June 2007 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock ![]() The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
