冷原子物理是现代原子分子光物理的一个非常重要且活跃的分支。它已经成为精密测量、探索新奇量子物质态和实现
量子传感，量子模拟及量子计算的前沿研究领域。本课程的教学目标如下：
1. 利用基本的量子力学知识让学生深入理解原子的能级结构；
2. 介绍基本光与原子，原子与原子之间的相互作用，并引导学生利用这些知识解决实际实验问题；
3. 介绍冷原子物理中基本的物理原理和机制，以及如何在现实实验研究中实现和应用它们；
4. 介绍当前冷原子物理中的前沿研究和最新进展。
Cold atom physics is an important and exotic branch in modern Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. It
has become a frontier research area to realize precision measurement, search novel quantum phases, and
implement quantum sensing, simulation and computation. This course aims to guiding the students to
reach the following objectives:
1. Utilizing fundamental knowledge of quantum mechanics to understand the energy structures of atoms.
2. Introducing basic interactions of light-atom and atom-atom, guiding the students to use the
knowledge to solve real-world problems.
3. To Understand the basic physical principles of cold atom physics and how to implements them in
real cutting-edge experiments.
4. Introducing to the most recent progress and exotic topics in cold atom physics.
