Atom Photon Interactions: Our most important measuring technique

Speaker: Dr Kathryn Khatry, MInstP, National Physical Laboratory

Our ability to manipulate atoms and measure their quantum state underpins modern physics. Atomic clocks have revolutionised timing and form some of the most precise measurement devices available today. Join us for an introduction on the importance, diversity and power of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic waves.

Part of the IOP London and South East (LSE) region Physics Talk Series and in collaboration with the IOP Atomic and Molecular Interactions Group.
