Abstract

The last few decades have seen great advances in experimental atomic physics. Exotic states of atoms can be prepared with the help of intense and short laser pulses, experiments can be performed on individual atoms and ions in electromagnetic traps and the dependence of their properties on their environment can be studied, and the advent of high resolution laser spectroscopy has made precision studies of the finest details of complicated atomic spectra possible. These developments have focussed our attention on effects and phenomena which used to be regarded as small perturbations or special cases of no experimental relevance. The experimental advances have confronted the theory with new challenges. It has become apparent that intricate and interesting effects can occur even in seemingly simple systems with only few degrees of freedom, and that their theoretical description often is by no means easy. Complementary to high precision spectroscopy, the availability of ultrashort light pulses of a few femtoseconds duration has made it possible to study highly localized excitations in atoms and molecules and follow the evolution of wave packets on an atomic scale. The availabity of ultra-cold atoms has made experimental tests of fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics possible, and it has led to the realization in the laboratory of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.
