OBSERVATION OF THE COLLAPSE AND FRACTIONAL REVIVAL OF A RYDBERG WAVEPACKET IN ATOMIC RUBIDIUM
The authors have excited and detected a radially localized electronic wavepacket in atomic rubidium. The wavepacket is formed of an optically induced coherent superposition of Rydberg states with mean principal quantum number, n=62. The motion of the wavepacket on a classical trajectory is monitored...
