Description
Summary:A graduate-level book for researchers in atomic physics, quantum optics, and statistical physics, written by world leaders in the fields of laser cooling and light-atom interactions. They demonstrate how Lvy statistics can be applied to problems where Gaussian statistics are inadequate, using laser cooling of atoms as a case study.
