controlling Quantum world 0 the While some of these agencies have programs specifically in AMo science, there is a strong tendency, especially at DARPA, to multidisciplinary work that is difficult to categorize. there is also a lot of emphasis on engineering applications, often with a quick turnaround.

aPPendix d BOX D-1 Atomic and Molecular Astrophysics Research Support As noted above and in Chapter 2, atomic and molecular studies of a variety of collision processes and spectroscopy are of critical importance to astronomy. Although one to two decades ago support for research in these areas made up a large fraction of the AMO physics funding portfolio at NSF and DOE, these agencies currently fund very little of this research.
