Atomic Physics

by Christopher J. Foot
Atomic Physics
Atomic Physics

Experimental atomic physics from basics to breakthroughs

This is a great pick if you want atomic physics to feel alive rather than purely abstract. It starts accessibly, then steadily brings you into modern topics like Bose-Einstein condensation and trapped-ion quantum computing without losing the thread. Readers would likely love how it balances theory with real experiments, making tough concepts feel grounded and genuinely exciting.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Condition guide

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

This text will update the existing literature on atomic physics. Intended to accompany an advanced undergraduate course, the book will cover the latest advances and applications such as Bose-Einstein Condensation of atoms, matter-wave interferometry, and quantum computing with trapped ions. The elementary atomic physics covered in the early chapters should be accessible to undergraduates when they are first introduced to the subject. To complement the usual quantum mechanical treatment of atomic structure, the book emphasizes the experimental basis of the subject, especially in the later chapters. It includes tutorial material such as examples, illustrations, chapter summaries, and graded problem sets.
