LASER SPECTROSCOPY
Proceedings of the XVI International Conference
Palm Cove, Far North Queensland, Australia 13 - 18 July 2003

edited by Peter Hannaford, Andrei Sidorov (Swinburne University of Technology, Australia), Hans Bachor & Ken Baldwin (Australian National University)

This volume comprises a collection of invited and selected contributions presented at the 16th International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy in Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia, 13–18 July 2003. The papers report the latest and most exciting developments in laser spectroscopy and related areas: new ultra-precise spectroscopic measurements based on optical frequency combs including tests of the stability of the fundamental constants; the first realization of Bose–Einstein condensation in cesium and ytterbium; the behavior of ultra-cold bosons and fermions in optical lattices; the production of ultra-cold cesium, helium and fermionic lithium molecules; the production and coherent transport of ultra- cold atoms in microtraps on the surface of chips; the implementation of one- and two-qubit quantum algorithms and experiments towards a scalable quantum computer based on trapped ions; and new medical applications of laser spectroscopy.

The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:

  • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings)
  • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)
  • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences


Readership: Researchers and graduate students in the fields of laser spectroscopy, atomic and molecular physics, atom optics, quantum gases and quantum information.
