    "abstract": "We propose a simple method for the deterministic generation of an arbitrary\ncontinuous quantum state of the center-of-mass of an atom. The method\u0027s spatial\nresolution gradually increases with the interaction time with no apparent\nfundamental limitations. Such de-Broglie Wave-Front Engineering of the atomic\ndensity can find applications in Atom Lithography, and we discuss possible\nimplementations of our scheme in atomic beam experiments.",
