Atomic spin-wave control and spin-dependent kicks with shaped subnanosecond pulses

The absorption of traveling photons resonant with electric dipole transitions of an atomic gas naturally leads to electric dipole spin-wave excitations. For a number of applications, it would be highly desirable to shape and coherently control the spatial waveform of the spin waves before spontaneou...
