Success is described on the confinement of spin-polarized                       hydrogen by a magnetic trap that confines the gas by magnetic                   forces that completely isolate it from all surfaces.  Recent                    results are reported in which the gas been evaporatively cooled                 to a temperature of 2mK.  These advances open the way to the                    study of hydrogen in a new quantum regime.  Atomic hydrogen at                  submillikelvin temperatures can provide an ideal system for                     studying the weakly interacting Bose gas and quantum transport                  phenomena.  A program of research is proposed for applying these                new techniques to study the statistical mechanics of atomic                     hydrogen and deuterium at submillikelvin temperatures.  The new                 techniques are also expected to have important applications in                  atomic physics and ultra high resolution spectroscopy.  A primary               experimental goal is to develop a laser-based technique for                     studying the momentum and spatial distributions of hydrogen in                  the trap.
