原子，分子和光学哲学博士

AMO研究人员探索了一些最令人兴奋和最热门的物理学领域。其中包括：激光冷却和俘获，量子光学，原子光学，超冷碰撞，超冷等离子体，量子信息，离子阱量子计算和模拟，量子简并气体。这些领域的最新进展为AMO开辟了许多新的研究途径，从而使该领域成为所有物理学中发展最快的领域之一。
AMO researchers explore some of the most exciting and hottest areas of physics. Among these are: laser cooling and trapping, quantum optics, atom optics, ultracold collisions, ultracold plasmas, quantum information, ion trap quantum computing and simulation, quantum-degenerate gases. Recent advances in these areas have opened so many new avenues of research in AMO that this field is one of the most rapidly expanding in all of physics. Maryland Physics is one of the largest departments in the nation. Exploring more than 30 fields of physics, our faculty and students work together on some of today's most cutting edge physics research. Along with a rigorous academic curriculum and an ideal Washington D.C. location, this productive research program forms the foundation of a first-class educational experience. Our undergraduates are sought after by premier graduate schools and a competitive marketplace, and our graduate students advance to challenging careers in government, industry and academia.
