This lecture provides an overview of atomic plasma physics and quantum control in the context of ultracold
quantum systems. Topics covered include the history and fundamentals of laser cooling and trapping of atoms,
techniques for cooling and controlling electrons, quantum dynamics of chemical reactions, properties of Rydberg
atoms and ions, strongly coupled atomic plasma, and experimental studies of ultracold atomic ensembles. The
course also addresses the challenges of trapping atoms and ions using various traps. The practical exercise
focuses on the generation of cold ions using lasers.
