Coherent control of quantum transport: modulation-enhanced phase detection and band spectroscopy

Atomic Physics 2013-03-15 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

Amplitude modulation of a tilted optical lattice can be used to steer the quantum transport of matter wave packets in a very flexible way. This allows the experimental study of the phase sensitivity in a multimode interferometer based on delocalization-enhanced Bloch oscillations and to probe the band structure modified by a constant force.
