“…This problem has received attention already in the early days of laser cooling [11]. More recent work has developed the band structure of the energy spectrum [12], and a number of regimes have been distinguished that allow an analytical description [13]. In a simple version of the model, the Hamiltonian is identical in form as in the two-well problem mentioned above.…”

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated oscillatory fields technique used in atomic clocks. Atom interferometry is now reaching maturity as a powerful art with many applications in modern science. In this review the basic tools for coherent atom optics are described including diffraction by nanostructures and laser light, three-grating interferometers, and double wells on atom chips. Scientific advances in a broad range of fields that have resulted from the application of atom interferometers are reviewed. These are grouped in three categories: ͑i͒ fundamental quantum science, ͑ii͒ precision metrology, and ͑iii͒ atomic and molecular physics. Although some experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates are included, the focus of the review is on linear matter wave optics, i.e., phenomena where each single atom interferes with itself.

“…Different to usual separation of the Kapitza-Dirac regime, the Bragg regime and the channeling regime (Keller et al, 1999), the scattering process is described by the projection of atomic states between the momentum presentation and Bloch states form by the scattering standing waves. According to this method, we are able to design and realize several specific high order momentum states for the atomic interferometry (Xiong et al, 2011).…”
