  This diagram illustrates the reflection of ultracold rubidium atoms from a double potential barrier in one dimension. The vertical axis represents position, and the horizontal axis represents time. The two potential barriers are located where the interference fringes appear. (Image courtesy of William Putnam and James Albrecht.)
