A scheme for the simultaneous measurement of atomic position and momentum
- We propose an optical scheme for the simultaneous measurement of the position and momentum of a single atom. The scheme involves the coupling of the atom of two light fields with different spatical and polarization characteristics. The proposed technique is closely related to the Arthurs-Kelly measurement scheme; the principal difference is that in the present case the electromagnetic fields rather than from shifts in the position of a pointer.
