Molecular Tomography of the Quantum State by Time-Resolved Electron Diffraction
Figure 4
Wigner functions for CS in a nascent distribution (upper left), and at 20, 40, and 120 ns following photodissociation of CS2 by 193 nm laser pulses. For the nascent distribution, the diagonal density matrix was obtained from the time-of-flight measurements of [47]; negative areas are present which are not visible from the chosen perspective. The experimental time-dependent Wigner functions were calculated using the diagonal density matrix elements of Table 1. The marginal probability density functions are shown at the left and right sides of each graph; scales are arbitrary.
