摘要
We propose a method for arbitrary manipulations of a quantum wave packet in an optical lattice by a suitable modulation of the lattice amplitude. A theoretical model allows us to determine the modulation needed to generate an arbitrary atomic trajectory; wave-packet rotations can also be implemented. The method is immediately usable in state-of-the-art experiments.
