It will also be useful to researchers practising in this field. It gives an intuitive, yet sufficiently detailed and rigorous introduction to light-atom interactions with a particular emphasis on the symmetry aspects of the interaction, especially those associated with the angular momentum of atoms and light. The book will enable readers to carryout practical calculations on their own, and is richly illustrated with examples drawn from current research topic 606 $aAtoms 606 $aPhysical optics 606 $aPolarization (Light) 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aPhysical optics. 615 0$aPolarization (Light) 676 $a539.7 700 $aAuzinsh$b Marcis$0463142 701 $aBudker$b Dmitry$0750519 701 $aRochester$b Simon$01567530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791493103321 996 $aOptically polarized atoms$93838983 997 $aUNINA
