Abstract: Work involving a new tool in optics, a pulse shaper, shows how atoms can be made to absorb light readily, or not at all, simply by controlling the phase of light shone at them. The method can be added to a growing list of techniques for manipulating the internal quantum dynamics of atoms and molecules using the coherence properties of light.
