- Abstract: In a retroreflective scheme atomic Raman diffraction adopts some of the
properties of Bragg diffraction due to additional couplings to off-resonant
momenta. As a consequence, double Raman diffraction has to be performed in a
Bragg-type regime. Taking advantage of this regime, double Raman allows for
resonant higher-order diffraction. We study theoretically the case of
third-order diffraction and compare it to first order as well as a sequence of
first-order pulses giving rise to the same momentum transfer as the third-order
pulse. In fact, third-order diffraction constitutes a competitive tool for the
diffraction of ultracold atoms and interferometry based on large momentum
transfer since it allows to reduce the complexity of the experiment as well as
the total duration of the diffraction process compared to a sequence.

Large momentum transfer (LMT) is an important technique for magnifying the phase shift accumulated in an atom interferometer.
Existing approaches to implement Raman-transition-based LMT all involve physically swapping the propagation directions of the two counterpropagating Raman beams repeatedly.
Here, we demonstrate a simpler approach for Raman-transition-based LMT that does not involve a physical swap of the directions of the Raman beams.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

We study the case of perfectly mode-matched drives and the case of standing wave drives.
By individually exciting eigenmodes we find that this critical intensity has a $upsilon_alpha2.5$ scaling for narrower resonances and more strongly interacting systems.
The $upsilon_alpha3$ scaling also corresponds to the semiclassical result whereby quantum fluctuations between the atoms have been neglected.
