U.S.-Polish Collaborative Research: New Frontiers in Nonlinear Magneto-Optics

这个美国-波兰合作研究项目旨在将基于原子相干性和量子干涉效应的非线性光原子相互作用领域的新成果应用到非线性磁光现象的研究中。主要研究人员是来自加州大学伯克利分校的Dmitry Budker博士和来自克拉科夫雅盖隆大学的Wojciech Gawlik。拟议的活动所产生的更广泛的影响是，磁强计新方法的研究成果可应用于医学、生物学、军事监视、空间研究和国家安全。也许没有比这更好的教学工具了，因为美国这一领域的许多最优秀的年轻科学家都受过精密测量方面的培训——就像这个项目中提出的那样。这个物理研究项目实现了将美国和中欧/东欧的顶尖专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的努力和能力。

This U.S.-Polish cooperative research project aims to apply new results obtained in the field of nonlinear light-atom interactions, based on the atomic coherence and quantum interference effects, into the studies of nonlinear magneto-optic phenomena. The principal investigators are Dr. Dmitry Budker from the University of California - Berkeley and Wojciech Gawlik from Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The broader impacts resulting from the proposed activity are that the results of the research on novel methods in magnetometry may be applied in medicine, biology, military surveillance, space research and national security. There may also be no better teaching tool as many of the best young scientists in this field in the U.S. were trained to work on precision measurements - such as the ones proposed in this project. This project in physics research fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
