This book is a simple introduction to the fundamentals of modern physics (theory of relativity, quantum mechanics), experimental procedures, and current unsolved mysteries of the universe.

This engaging book presents the fundamentals of ion traps and their use in physics, chemistry and their technological applications. Following an overview of the types of traps and their operation, the book explores their key areas of application for the development of new physics, chemistry, or engineering at a level accessible by students. The introductory nature and broad coverage will also make the book essential reading for scientists who wish to understand and explore the use of ion traps in their research. Embracing optical manipulation, entanglement and exploitation in quantum computing, chemical reactivity, atomic clocks and testing fundamental physics this book provides a broad and accessible introduction to the world of ion traps and how our understanding and exploitation of trapped ions is furthering modern science and technology.KEY FEATURES: An accessible overview of ion traps and their applicationsExtensive coverage includes relevant physics and applications in physics and chemistryIntroduces the main areas of application in modern scientific researchAppendices feature mathematical topics and descriptions for advanced readers

This book concerns precise measurements and their inherent uncertainty,with an emphasis on time and frequency measurement. Improvements in theaccurate measurement of time and frequency play a pivotal role in thedevelopment of modern science and our questioning of the fundamentals ofour universe.
