Abstract
We expand the theoretical toolbox for controllable quantum reflection by departing from a simple planar reflector. We introduce a circular hole (a micropore) of variable size, for which the electrostatic image potential can be exactly calculated. We combine this with two-dimensional simulations of wavepacket propagation at arbitrary angle of incidence to show that the quantum reflection probability can be tuned over a wide range of values.
