Interactions of electromagnetic radiation with Bose-Einstein condensates: Manipulating ultra-cold atoms with light

• A review of models describing the interactions of ultra-cold atoms and laser light is given. Both semi-classical and fully quantum models are presented with particular attention given to the introduction of local field effects. Some possible effects of self-localization and guiding, consequences of such interactions, are discussed.
