Observation of Saturation of Fidelity Decay with an Atom Interferometer

Observation of Saturation of Fidelity Decay with an Atom Interferometer

We use an atom interferometer to investigate the dynamics of matter waves in a periodically pulsed optical standing wave: an atom optics realization of the quantum kicked rotor that exhibits chaotic classical dynamics. We experimentally show that a measure of the coherence between the interferometer diffraction orders can revive after …
