Control of Atomic and Molecular Motion
The method of laser cooling has opened the door to low temperature physics of dilute gases. Despite the great success of this method, it has been limited to a small set of atoms in the periodic table. I will describe in this talk new approaches to trapping of atoms and molecules that do not require lasers and are hence applicable to most atoms. I will then describe how the trapped atoms can be further cooled in an experimental realization of Maxwell's demon. Applications of these methods to fundamental physics and chemistry will be described.
