Determining the density matrix of a molecular beam using a longitudinal matter wave interferometer

Two separated oscillatory fields, if tuned to different frequencies, can generate or interrogate longitudinal momentum coherences in a beam of two-state particles. We demonstrate that use of differentially detuned separated oscillatory fields is an efficient method to determine the longitudinal dens...

Zusammenfassung:Two separated oscillatory fields, if tuned to different frequencies, can generate or interrogate longitudinal momentum coherences in a beam of two-state particles. We demonstrate that use of differentially detuned separated oscillatory fields is an efficient method to determine the longitudinal density matrix of a particle beam.
