AMO physics has many diverse connections to other fields including astrophysics, plasma physics, chemistry, materials science, medicine, and engineering. At one end of the spectrum, it contributes to very fundamental issues in physics, such as quantum electrodynamics and parity non-conservation. At the other end, it sheds light on real-world issues such as electric lighting and semiconductor processing. The phenomena investigated span a tremendous range of both energies and time scales, and call for the use a variety of techniques, both experimental and theoretical. |
