In this review article we provide an overview of the field of atomic structure of light atoms in strong magnetic fields. There is a very rich history of this field which dates back to the very birth of quantum mechanics. At various points in the past significant discoveries in science and technology have repeatedly served to rejuvenate interest in atomic structure in strong fields, broadly speaking, resulting in three eras in the development of this field; the historical, the classical and the modern eras. The motivations for studying atomic structure have also changed significantly as time progressed. The review presents a chronological summary of the major advances that occurred during these eras and discusses new insights and impetus gained. The review is concluded with a description of the latest findings and the future prospects for one of the most remarkably cutting-edge fields of research in science today.

We investigate how the nonlinearity of the Zeeman shift for strong magnetic fields affects the dynamics of rf field induced evaporative cooling in magnetic traps. We demonstrate for the 87-Rb and 23-Na F=2 trapping states with wave packet simulations
how the cooling stops when the rf field frequency goes below a certain limit (for the 85-Rb F=2 trapping state the problem does not appear). We examine the applicability of semiclassical models for the strong field case as an extension of our previous work [Phys. Rev. A 58, 3983 (1998)]. Our results verify many of the aspects observed in a recent $^{87}$Rb experiment [Phys. Rev. A 60, R1759 (1999)].
Atomic ionization by intense mid-infrared (mid-IR) pulses produces low electron energy features that the strong-field approximation, which is expected to be valid in the tunneling ionization regime characterized by small Keldysh parameters ($gamma ll
1$), cannot describe. These features include the low-energy structure (LES), the very-low-energy structure (VLES), and the more recently found zero-energy structure (ZES). They result from the interplay between the laser electric field and the atomic Coulomb field which controls the low-energy spectrum also for small $gamma$. In the present joint experimental and theoretical study we investigate the vectorial momentum spectrum at very low energies. Using a reaction microscope optimized for the detection of very low energy electrons, we have performed a thorough study of the three-dimensional momentum spectrum well below 1 eV. Our measurements are complemented by quantum and classical simulations, which allow for an interpretation of the LES, VLES and of the newly identified ZES in terms of two-dimensional Coulomb focusing and recapture into Rydberg states, respectively.
When a strong laser pulse induces the ionization of an atom, momentum conservation dictates that the absorbed photons transfer their momentum $p_{gamma}=E_{gamma}/c$ to the electron and its parent ion. Even after 30 years of studying strong-field ion
ization, the sharing of the photon momentum between the two particles and its underlying mechanism are still under debate in theory. Corresponding experiments are very challenging due to the extremely small photon momentum ($~10^{-4}$ a.u.) and their precision has been too limited, so far, to ultimately resolve the debate. Here, by utilizing a novel experimental approach of two counter-propagating laser pulses, we present a detailed study on the effects of the photon momentum in strong-field ionization. The high precision and self-referencing of the method allows to unambiguously demonstrate the action of the lights magnetic field on the electron while it is under the tunnel barrier, confirming theoretical predictions, disproving others. Our results deepen the understanding of, for example, molecular imaging and time-resolved photoelectron holography.
An implementation of coupled-cluster (CC) theory to treat atoms and molecules in finite magnetic fields is presented. The main challenges stem from the magnetic-field dependence in the Hamiltonian, or, more precisely, the appearance of the angular mo
mentum operator, due to which the wave function becomes complex and which introduces a gauge-origin dependence. For this reason, an implementation of a complex CC code is required together with the use of gauge-including atomic orbitals to ensure gauge-origin independence. Results of coupled-cluster singles--doubles--perturbative-triples (CCSD(T)) calculations are presented for atoms and molecules with a focus on the dependence of correlation and binding energies on the magnetic field.
The quasistatic limit of the velocity-gauge strong-field approximation describing the ionization rate of atomic or molecular systems exposed to linear polarized laser fields is derived. It is shown that in the low-frequency limit the ionization rate
is proportional to the laser frequency, if a Coulombic long-range interaction is present. An expression for the corresponding proportionality coefficient is given. Since neither the saddle-point approximation nor the one of a small kinetic momentum is used in the derivation, the obtained expression represents the exact asymptotic limit. This result is used to propose a Coulomb correction factor. Finally, the applicability of the found asymptotic expression for non-vanishing laser frequencies is investigated.
