Quantum interference of electrically trapped particles — •Eric van den Bosch, Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, and Benjamin A. Stickler — University Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany

Orientational quantum revivals are a pronounced quantum interference effect caused by the fundamental quantization of angular momentum [1]. This poster will show how this quantum effect can be observed with electrically charged nanorotors suspended in the time-dependent fields of quadrupole ion traps. We will propose a concrete setup and discuss under what conditions coherence times on the order of a few seconds are realistically achievable.
