Abstract
Neutral atoms and ions can now be cooled, trapped, and precisely manipulate d using laser beams and other electromagnetic fields. This has made it poss ible to control external degrees of freedom at the quantum level, thereby m aking possible a variety of interesting new physics. [S0034-6861(99)03802-7 ].
