This project will partially support the next decadal survey for the atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) sciences. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies), the report produced through this project will provide valuable information and guidance on issues that pertain to AMO science to federal policy makers in both Congress and the Administration, the agencies and their programs that support this field, research communities, and the general public. The report will discuss progress that has taken place in the AMO sciences over the past ten years and will identify new opportunities and compelling scientific questions for the field over the next decade. The report will also discuss how advances by AMO researchers, both in our understanding of AMO physics and in our technological capabilities for studying this field, are having strong positive impacts in other fields of research as well as in meeting broader national needs. Finally, portions of the report will be written with a lay audience in mind, and so it is hoped that the report will enhance the public understanding of AMO science and the roles that it plays in other sciences and society at large.To carry out this project, a panel of approximately 15 members will be assembled by the National Academies. Committee membership will include not only a balance of AMO research expertise but also expertise from other research fields with which AMO science is becoming increasingly connected, such as condensed matter physics, information theory, chemical physics, and life sciences. In the process of developing the report, the committee will hold 4 meetings at various locations in the United States and will also hold workshops and town meetings (for example at professional society meetings) so as to engage the AMO community in the survey process. The committee will then produce a report (1) identifying new opportunities, compelling scientific questions, and themes that have arisen from recent advances and accomplishments in the AMO field; (2) displaying AMO science as a vital field that relates and unifies broad scientific endeavors; (3) discussing how AMO is supplying these and other fields with emerging technologies as well as meeting broader national needs; (4) explaining how AMO science meets workforce, educational, and other societal needs; and (5) making recommendations for a strategy to fully realize the potential at the frontiers of AMO science. The study will be completed over 18 months and copies of the final report, as well as briefing opportunities, will be provided to sponsoring agencies, members of Congress and their staff, Administration policy leaders, the AMO research community, technical communities that draw from AMO science, and institutions involved in activities related to the subject of the report. The report will also be available for free to the public in PDF form at The National Academies Press website, at URL www.nap.edu.

该项目将部分支持原子、分子和光学(AMO)科学的下一次十年调查。该报告由美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院(The National Academy of Science，Engineering，and Medicine)(美国国家科学院)进行，通过该项目产生的报告将为国会和政府的联邦政策制定者、支持该领域的机构及其计划、研究界和公众提供有关AMO科学问题的有价值的信息和指导。该报告将讨论过去十年在AMO科学方面取得的进展，并将确定未来十年该领域的新机会和引人注目的科学问题。该报告还将讨论AMO研究人员在我们对AMO物理的理解和我们研究该领域的技术能力方面的进展如何在其他研究领域以及在满足更广泛的国家需求方面产生强大的积极影响。最后，报告的部分内容将考虑到非专业读者，因此希望报告将增进公众对AMO科学及其在其他科学和社会中所扮演的角色的了解。为了执行这一项目，美国国家科学院将组建一个约15人的小组。委员会成员将不仅包括AMO研究专业知识的平衡，还包括AMO科学日益联系的其他研究领域的专业知识，如凝聚态物理、信息论、化学物理和生命科学。在编写报告的过程中，委员会将在美国的不同地点举行4次会议，还将举行讲习班和城镇会议(例如在专业协会会议上)，以便让古物古迹办事处社区参与调查过程。然后，委员会将编写一份报告(1)确定AMO领域最近的进展和成就带来的新机遇、引人注目的科学问题和主题；(2)展示AMO科学是联系和统一广泛科学努力的重要领域；(3)讨论AMO如何为这些和其他领域提供新兴技术以及满足更广泛的国家需求；(4)解释AMO科学如何满足劳动力、教育和其他社会需求；以及(5)为充分实现AMO科学前沿潜力的战略提出建议。这项研究将在18个月内完成，最终报告的副本以及简报机会将提供给赞助机构、国会议员及其工作人员、行政政策领导人、古迹组织研究界、利用古迹组织科学知识的技术界以及参与与报告主题有关的活动的机构。这份报告还将在美国国家科学院出版社网站上以PDF格式免费向公众提供，网址为www.nap.edu。
