Abstract

The techniques of controlling the free evolution of a nonrelativistic charged particle by time-dependent magnetic fields are proposed and the possibility of more general operations upon the Schrödinger wave packet is discussed. It is found that a properly programmed sequence of magnetic pulses can invert the free evolution process, forcing an arbitrary wave packet to ‘‘go back in time’’ to recover its past shape. Our manipulation prescriptions hold also for nonrelativistic particles of arbitrary spin.
