Bose-Einstein Condensate Wavefunction Reconstruction Through Collisions with Optical Potentials

A new technique for the interferometric measurement of an atomic wavefunction is introduced theoretically, which is able to extract phase and amplitude information in a single measurement. I focus on the application of this technique to the single-particle wavefunction of a Bose condensed cloud of...
