Atomic, Molecular, Optical (AMO) Physics in Sweden

This page contains links to more detailed information about the Swedish groups in Göteborg, Linköping, Lund, Stockholm, Umeå and Uppsala working within Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. It also gives a link of other AMO resources. If you feel I have missed your work (or someone else's), please tell me about additional links to be included!
