Résumé

"This is a very timely book. The author has chosen a very modern set of topics, ones that increasingly are at the heart of the field of atomic and optical physics... I am aware of no competing textbook that offers this wide selection of topics at the cutting edge of this discipline."
-Chris Greene, University of Colorado, Boulder

"...a useful text on atomic physics and fills something of a gap between traditional textbooks and highly specialised books on the more modern topics."
-Charles Adams, University of Durham

"The approach to the modern topics, in particular the many connections to the classical developments of the field is masterly done."
-Klaus Molmer, University of Aarhus

Based on extensive teaching experience, class-tested.
Written for undergraduates.
Leads students up to the frontiers of latest research.
Includes recent advances in Bose-Einstein condensation which have also excited interest outside the field.
Contains many exercises, suitable for use in class.

Readership: Aimed at fourth year undergraduate students and first year graduate students in physics.
