Quantum catcher - stopping particles of unknown velocities

Quantum Physics 2009-03-03 v1

Abstract

We propose a method to stop particles of unknown velocities by collision with an accelerated wall with trajectory ~sqrt(t). We present classical and quantum mechanical descriptions and numerical simulations that show the efficiency of the method.
