Abstract
For most of the 20th century, atomic physicists used light to probe atoms.
Today, scientists use light to manipulate particles with unprecedented control,
routinely cooling atoms to a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero. This
ability is vital for developing atomic clocks, quantum computing and the use of
ultracold quantum gases to study many-body physics. Now, we report that we can use
light to modify the interactions between atoms in a new way.
