Abstract :
Summary form only given. Atomic matter waves, just like electromagnetic waves, can be focused, reflected, guided and split by the passive atom optical elements of today. However, the key for many applications of RF and light waves lies in the availability of amplifiers. Here, we report the observation of phase coherent amplification of atomic matter waves.
