摘要

As a quantum mechanical system, the atom is characterized by two sets of degrees of freedom: internal (electron configurations and spin) and external (momentum and center-of-mass position), which can change in the interaction with laser radiation. The physics of ultracold atoms and atom optics made their appearance due to successful investigations into the action of laser radiation on precisely the external degrees of freedom of the atom-its momentum and center-of-mass position. In an elementary 'photon absorption-emission' cycle, the reradiated photon can be spontaneous or induced. The 'stimulated absorption-spontaneous emis-sion' process is inherently dissipative and it is precisely this cycle that underlies the laser cooling of atoms. Numerous laser cooling techniques enable forming atomic ensembles in the range from room temperature to several nanokelvins. Laser cooling and the subsequent evaporative cooling allow obtaining both ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh atomic densities, which in turn permits realizing quantum Bose and Fermi gases. The 'stimulated absorption-stimulated emis-sion' photon process is coherent and forms the foundation of atom optics-a new type of optics of material particles (along with electron and neutron optics), which evolved from the development of the methods of laser cooling and atom localization and which is concerned with the formation, control, and application of the ensembles and beams of neutral atoms.
