Abstract
We propose the cyclotron state retrieval of an electron trapped in a Penning trap by using different measurement schemes based on suitable modifications of the applied electromagnetic fields and exploiting the axial degree of freedom as a probe. A test for matter-antimatter symmetry of the quantum state is proposed.
