title: Quantum state measurement using coherent transients.
abstract: We present the principle and experimental demonstration of time resolved quantum state holography. The quantum state of an excited state interacting with an ultrashort chirped laser pulse is measured during this interaction. This has been obtained by manipulating coherent transients created by the interaction of femtosecond shaped pulses and rubidium atoms.
