The National Research Council's (NRC) Committee on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences (CAMOS) is a standing committee with membership drawn from universities, industry, and government laboratories. Its members have expertise that is intended to cover the full breadth of the atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) sciences. The operating guidelines of CAMOS include the following objectives: - To provide active stewardship of the agenda laid out by the most recent decadal study prepared for AMO sciences, "Controlling the Quantum World";- To provide a means by which federal agencies can request technical information and assistance from the NRC about AMO science and related fields, and by which other units in the NRC can obtain expertise on AMO science;- To initiate ad hoc studies and workshops on important timely topics in AMO science and/or its multidisciplinary connections with other fields of science and technology;- To develop brief informational summaries of emerging topics and/or questions of current interest; - To provide an interface for communication among the subfields of the AMO community as well as with the staff of federal agencies that support research in the field;- To begin preparations for the next decadal survey of AMO science.To carry out those objectives, CAMOS meets annually in person in Washington, D.C. and between those meetings, conducts its business through telephone conferences.The activities of CAMOS will generate broader impacts in two ways. First, these activities engage a group of leading scientists from across the subfields of AMO science in joint deliberations and provide a learning environment for that body regarding the public-policy process for science and the position of AMO in the broader context of the physical sciences. Second, CAMOS activities lead to an improved understanding of AMO science by the broader scientific and policy-making communities. By holding multi-disciplinary workshops, preparing short, nontechnical documents, and initiating studies, CAMOS will continue to educate researchers, policy makers, and the general public about advances in AMO science that have impact in other fields of science and technology.

国家研究委员会(NRC)的原子、分子和光学科学委员会(CAMOS)是一个常设委员会，成员来自大学、工业和政府实验室。它的成员拥有旨在涵盖原子、分子和光学(AMO)科学的全部范围的专业知识。CAMOS的业务准则包括以下目标：-积极管理为AMO科学准备的最新十年研究--“控制量子世界”--制定的议程；-提供一种手段，使联邦机构能够请求核研究委员会提供有关AMO科学和相关领域的技术信息和援助，并使NRC中的其他单位能够获得有关AMO科学的专门知识；-就AMO科学和/或其与其他科学和技术领域的多学科联系的重要及时专题开展特别研究和讲习班；-对新出现的专题和/或当前感兴趣的问题进行简要的信息摘要；-提供一个接口，以便在AMO社区的各个子领域之间以及与支持该领域研究的联邦机构的工作人员之间进行交流；-开始准备下一次对AMO科学的十年调查。为了实现这些目标，CAMOS每年在华盛顿特区亲自开会，在这些会议之间通过电话会议开展业务。CAMOS的活动将在两个方面产生更广泛的影响。首先，这些活动吸引了来自古迹科学各分领域的一批顶尖科学家共同讨论，并为该机构提供了一个学习环境，了解科学的公共政策进程以及古迹组织在更广泛的物理科学背景下的地位。第二，CAMOS活动增进了更广泛的科学界和决策界对AMO科学的理解。通过举办多学科研讨会、准备简短的非技术性文件和启动研究，CAMOS将继续教育研究人员、政策制定者和普通公众了解AMO科学方面的进展，这些进展对其他科学和技术领域产生了影响。
