Resources for Students

There are books and books written on each topic, why am I introducing one more resource? It can take days-weeks-months reading everything out there, so my suggestion is to have a roadmap before starting it. I propose to answer specific questions, which would cover the topic in enough depth to start working in the lab.

Besides listing questions I suggest resources, which I found useful. Sometimes questions are based on my experimental experience and there is no clear reference to cite, in that case I post answer in a drop-down section.

Experiments in atomic physics lab combine different aspect of experimental equipment: optics, laser, electronics, and vacuum. Together with that you need to understand atomic physics: atomic cooling, spectroscopy and so on. Let’s get to it!
