Coherent Control in Atoms, Molecules, and Semiconductors

This volume contains the Proceedings of the International Workshop on Coherent Control of Carrier Dynamics in Semiconductors, held in May 1998 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Coherent control of charge carrier dynamics has evolved into an interdisciplinary topic involving atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, laser spectroscopy, and the physics of electronic devices. This is reflected by the contributions contained in this volume which, to our knowledge, is the first of its kind on the issue of coherent control. Containing both review articles and latest results in the field in atomic, molecular, and semiconductor physics, it addresses experts and novices alike. All articles have been reviewed and emphasis has been given to clarity and a detailed list of references. Audience: This volume will be of interest to research workers, engineers, students and postgraduates.
