Applications of State-Selected Atoms: From Relativity to Radiology

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

1905 saw both the development of special relativity and the construction of the first institution dedicated to radiology. A century later, AMO physics is playing an important role in these seemingly disparate fields through the application of state- selected atoms to highly-stable clocks and novel biomedical imaging tools. I will discuss the work of my group and others in these areas.
