Tonyushkin, Alexey A., Saijun Wu, and Mara Prentiss. 2009. Demonstration of a multipulse interferometer for quantum kicked-rotor studies. Physical Review A 79(051402).Abstract
We implemented a multipulse interferometer scheme that allows us to study a quantum kicked rotor by observing dephasing of momentum coherence. Our study shows that momentum coherence can be nearly perfectly preserved under conditions where the mean energy as a function of the kick number is known to increase without bound. The accompanying width narrowing of these coherences may provide a new method for accurate measurement of the recoil frequency.Terms of Use
