Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of a workshop held January 1991, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, encompass a wide range of topics from fundamental problems in quantum mechanics to applications in optical technology. A major emphasis is on measurements made possible by recent advances in the generation and detection of light with low quantum noise. These advances have occurred simultaneously with the development of atomic traps capable of trapping a single atom for a considerable period of time. Annotation c.
