Quantum State Reconstruction Using Atom Optics

Abstract

We present a novel technique in which the total internal quantum state of an atom may be reconstructed via the measurement of the momentum transferred to an atom following its interaction with a near resonant travelling wave laser beam. We present the first such measurement and demonstrate the feasibility of the technique.
