Suppression of decoherence-induced diffusion in the quantum kicked rotor

Suppression of decoherence-induced diffusion in the quantum kicked rotor

We describe a method that allows transient suppression of spontaneous emission-induced diffusion in the atom-optics realization of the kicked rotor. The system is prepared in an initial state with a momentum distribution concentrated in an interval much sharper than the Brillouin zone; the measure of the momentum distribution is restricted …
