    "abstract": "We formulate a wave atom optics theory of the Collective Atomic Recoil Laser,\nwhere the atomic center-of-mass motion is treated quantum mechanically. By\ncomparing the predictions of this theory with those of the ray atom optics\ntheory, which treats the center-of-mass motion classically, we show that for\nthe case of a far off-resonant pump laser the ray optics model fails to predict\nthe linear response of the CARL when the temperature is of the order of the\nrecoil temperature or less. This is due to the fact that in theis temperature\nregime one can no longer ignore the effects of matter-wave diffraction on the\natomic center-of-mass motion.",
