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

这一美国-波兰合作研究项目旨在将基于原子相干和量子干涉效应的非线性光-原子相互作用领域取得的新成果应用于非线性磁光现象的研究。主要研究人员是加州大学伯克利分校的Dmitry Budker博士和克拉科夫Jagiellung大学的Wojciech Gawlik。拟议活动产生的更广泛影响是，磁学新方法的研究成果可能应用于医学、生物学、军事监视、空间研究和国家安全。可能也没有更好的教学工具了，因为美国这一领域许多最优秀的年轻科学家都接受过精确测量方面的培训--比如这个项目中提出的那些。该物理研究项目实现了将美国和中东欧的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域结合互补努力和能力的计划目标。

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.
