  • Description: These proceedings arose from the 7th Asian International Seminar on Atomic and Molecular Physics (AISAMP) which was held at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras from 4–7 December 2006. The history of the AISAMP has been reviewed by Takayanagi http://www.physics.iitm.ac.in/~aisamp7/history.html. This international seminar/conference series grew out of the Japan–China meetings which were launched in 1985, the fourth of which was held in 1992 and carried a second title: The First Asian International Seminar on Atomic and Molecular Physics (AISAMP), thus providing a formal medium for scientists in this part of the world to report periodically and exchange their scientific thoughts. The founding nations of Japan and China were joined subsequently by Korea, Taiwan, India and Australia. The aims of the symposia included bringing together leading experts and students of atomic and molecular physics, the discussion of important problems, learning and sharing modern techniques and expanding the horizons of modern atomic and molecular physics. The fields of interest ranged from atomic and molecular structure and dynamics to photon, electron and positron scattering, to quantum information processing, the effects of symmetry and many body interactions, laser cooling, cold traps, electric and magnetic fields and to atomic and molecular physics with synchrotron radiation. Particular interest was evident in new techniques and the changes of the physical properties from atomic to condensed matter. Details of the 7th AISAMP, including the topics for the special sessions and the full programme, are available online at the conference website http://www.physics.iitm.ac.in/~aisamp7/. In total, 95 presentations were made at the 7th AISAMP, these included the Invited Talks and Contributed Poster Presentations, of which 52 appear in the present Proceedings after review by expert referees, refereed to the usual standard of the Institute of Physics journal: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. We received extensive support from the Journal of Physics: Conference Series staff; Graham Douglas, in particular, has been of tremendous help. The 7th AISAMP was very well attended and was sponsored primarily by the host Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (Chennai), the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences, (Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India), the Department of Science and Technology, (Government of India), and the Asian Office of Aerospace Research and Development (AOARD) of the US Air Force. There was support from various quarters—each was invaluable and added to the success of the 7th AISAMP. We are very grateful to all the sponsors. It is superfluous to add that guidance and active participation from several colleagues within the host Institute was the primary source of strength for the actual organization of the conference and the multitude of arrangements for the organization came from the young graduate students at the IIT-Madras. We hope that this volume of Journal of Physics: Conference Series will be referenced widely and that it will strengthen ties between various countries in the region in and around Asia, and also of course to all scientists in this field the world over.
