Wave Packet Isotope Separation
Abstract
We introduce and demonstrate a general wave packet method for laser isotope separation. In this scheme, laser excited molecular (or atomic) wave packets of differing isotopes become spatially separated in the course of their long-time free evolution. In order to overcome the quantum spreading of wave packets, we make use of the phenomenon of revivals. We demonstrate experimentally, with mixed ${}^{79}$B${\mathrm{r}}_{2}$${\mathrm{/}}^{81}$B${\mathrm{r}}_{2}$ isotopes, that significant control over the isotope ratio can be achieved in a single shot.

For revivals to occur, the presence of a quantizing magnetic field is necessary; if B=0 the spectrum is continuous, which rules out the possibility of revivals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
