sehr schönes Buch , das sich auf das unverzichtbare Grundwissen beschränkt. Gut zur Orientierung, man wird nicht durch Nebensächliches abgelenkt. Aber nicht ausreichend für einen Diplomphysiker.

Are Atoms always so complicated?prepare a 2 state system

Are Atoms always so complicated?prepare a 2 state systemprepare a 2-state systemprepare a 2-state system

• Atoms interacting with a laser field can in many cases be regarded as a two state system

• line width and the frequency width of the laser radiation are much smaller then the level spacinglevel spacing

• optical pumping can prepare: specific atomic hyperfine states

ifi ti t tspecific magnetic state• selecting a specific polarization

one can prepare a l d t t t tclosed two state system

• this preparation is simple in ‘one electron atoms’ (alkali atoms)
