The invention of laser cooling in the 1980’s transformed atomic physics. Rather than focusing just on measuring the internal dynamics of atoms, now atomic physicists could control, observe, and measure the quantum mechanics of atomic center-of-mass motion. The scientific revolution was extended in the mid-90’s when quantum degenerate gases were first produced. Throughout the ensuing decades, ultracold atomic gases have become an essential medium for exploring many-body quantum physics and for achieving precise quantum measurements using coherent matter waves. This revolution has had profound impacts in diverse areas, including materials science, quantum information science, precise probes of fundamental physics, and the development of quantum technologies for sensing, navigation, communication and quantum computation
