Abstract

This award is to provide continued support for activities at the Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics (ITAMP) at Harvard/SAO. The activity has been and remains a resource for the theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics community since 1988. The ITAMP has a world wide, competitive postdoctoral program, supports long and short term visitors and runs a number of workshops in forefront problems in AMO physics. ITAMP postdoctoral fellows have been the major source of junior faculty positions in theoretical AMO physics for the past ten years and have led to two senior appointments to Harvard physics and chemistry departments where these individuals can train some of the best and brightest students in AMO theory in the US.
