Quantum optics with quantum gases: controlled state reduction by designed light scattering

Cavity enhanced light scattering off an ultracold gas in an optical lattice constitutes a quantum measurement with a controllable form of the measurement back-action. Time-resolved counting of scattered photons alters the state of the atoms without particle loss implementing a quantum nondemolition...
