At this Obergurgl seminar, theoreticians and experimentalists discussed recent developments in laser interactions. This volume contains the texts of invited lectures and abstracts of contributed papers. The main topics discussed are: * multiphoton ionization * above-threshold ionization * collisions in strong fields * atoms in intense fields * chaos in radiative interactions * electron correlations in multiphoton processes * Rydberg atoms in external fields * other laser interactions. Thus a broad and up-to-date account of laser interactions is given which will be of interest to scientists,...

Advanced experimental techniques make quantum optics one of the most active fields in probing the fundamental laws of quantum theory. The contributions collected in this volume, by both theoreticians and experimentalists, give an overview of the most recent developments in fundamental quantum optics. Of particular interest is the physics of cooled and trapped particles. Other topics include atomic interferometry, quantum electrodynamics in a cavity, quantum measurement and much more. The level of presentation makes this book intelligible not only to the expert but also to a wide readership...
