Abstract
The designing of a pulse-shaping algorithm for a matter wave with the purpose of controlling a binary reaction was analyzed. To find the reactive wave function leading to the desired final condition, the wave function was propagated backwards in time. For an Eley-Rideal reaction in which an impinging lithium atom recombines with an adsorbed hydrogen atom, the scheme was illustrated. It was found that the wave function of the impinging atom is shaped such that the desorbing molecule leaves the surface in a specific vibrational state.
