A Pulse Shaping Algorithm of a Coherent Matter Wave. Controlling Reaction Dynamics
arXiv:quant-ph/0308152 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.70.015602
Abstract
A pulse shaping algorithm for a matter wave with the purpose of controlling a binary reaction has been designed. The scheme is illustrated for an Eley-Rideal reaction where an impinging matter-wave atom recombines with an adsorbed atom on a metal surface. The wave function of the impinging atom is shaped such that the desorbing molecule leaves the surface in a specific vibrational state.
