Abstract :
Summary form only given. In traditional wave packet interferometry, time-resolved dynamics of a quantum wave packet is studied by exciting an additional delayed probe wave packet in the same system, and detecting the resulting interference signal. This imposes stringent requirements to the stability of the delay between pulses, and their relative phase. On the contrary, in recent COIN (coherent observation of interference noise) method, a pair of delayed, randomly phased pulses is used for excitation. The stability problem is solved by measuring the fluctuations about the average signal, instead of the interference signal itself.
