Ultracold atoms have many applications to important problems in
physics today, including the study of quantum degenerate gases,
technologies based on coherent atom optics, and quantum computing. Our
recent experiments in these areas will be described, focusing on our
development of all-optical atomic Bose Einstein condensates, and
cavity QED experiments with single trapped atoms.
