Abstract
A recurrence tracking microscope works on quantum recurrence phenomena of the wave packet and probes nanostructures on a surface. The important advantage of condensed atoms over cold atoms is the very small distribution size due to the atom–atom interactions. We report a more precise measurement of the quantum revival time. For small nonlinear interatomic interactions, there is a small change in quantum revival times; however, as the interaction becomes stronger, we find visible changes in the revival time. The change in the initial height of the nanoparticles is due to the variation in the revival times at different positions of the cantilever.
