Abstract

A coherent superimposition of atomic electron eigenstates gives rise to localization of the wave function. Creation and detection of these so-called wave packets are possible by picosecond dye lasers. We describe two kinds of wave packet and one application: radial wave packets1,2 created by a superposition of n-states; parabolic wave packets3,4 created by a superposition of k-states; finally, we show a way to shorten optical pulses using Rydberg wave packets.
