AMO physics studies the fundamental building blocks of functioning matter to help advance the understanding of the universe. It is a foundational discipline within the physical sciences, relating to atoms and their constituents, to molecules, and to light at the quantum level. AMO physics combines fundamental research with practical application, coupling fundamental scientific discovery to rapidly evolving technological advances, innovation and commercialization. Due to the wide-reaching intellectual, societal, and economical impact of AMO, it is important to review recent advances and future opportunities in AMO physics.}, year = {2020}, pages = {314}, month = {2020-10}, publisher = {National Academy of Sciences}, address = {Washington DC}, isbn = {978-0-309-49951-4 (paperback); 978-0-309-49954-5 (ebook)}, url = {https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25613/manipulating-quantum-systems-an-assessment-of-atomic-molecular-and-optical}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.17226/25613}, }
