Serving as an introduction to graduate level coherent optical atomic manipulation, the thesis describes the theory of stimulated Raman transitions and atom interferometry, along with the experimental methods for preparing and manipulating cold atoms, before building on these foundations to explore tailored optical pulse sequences and novel atomic cooling techniques. Interferometric cooling, originally proposed by Weitz and Hänsch in 2000, is based upon the coherent broadband laser pulses of Ramsey interferometry and in principle allows laser cooling of atomic and molecular species outside the scope of traditional Doppler laser cooling. On the path toward cooling, composite pulses ? quantum error correction methods, developed by chemists to mitigate the effects of in homogeneities in NMR spectroscopy ? are investigated with a view to improving the performance of atom interferometers. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aQuantum Gases and Condensates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24033 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aPhase transformations (Statistical physics) 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 14$aQuantum Gases and Condensates. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a530 700 $aDunning$b Alexander J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0792254 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300402103321 996 $aCoherent Atomic Manipulation and Cooling$91771519 997 $aUNINA
