Abstract
We present an approach to monitoring and controlling a free quantum particle by coupling an internal (discrete) state of the particle to a detector (or probe). We consider a sequence of time-dependent, spatially localized interactions of the particle with the probe that are purely coherent (nondissipative), without mean energy-momentum exchange. We show that a sequence of such force-free interactions can freeze or deflect the particle.
