Atomic Physics
Using lasers and other electromagnetic fields, atomic physicists can exquisitely control the internal and motional states of atoms. We have several experimental groups who apply such control over ions and neutral atoms for studies in quantum information science, many-body physics, and tests of fundamental physical theories.
