Abstract

A coherent superposition of atomic electron eigenstates gives rise to localization of the wave function. Creation and detection of these so-called wave packets is possible by picosecond dye lasers. In this contribution we describe two kinds of wave packets, and one application: radial wave packets (1-3) created by a superposition of n-states; parabolic wave packets (4,5) created by a superposition of k-states; finally we will show that the chirped character of these matter waves can be used to shorten optical pulses (6).
