11. This requirement is relaxed if the input atomic wave function obeys the symmetry of splitting, as the examples discussed in [8,9]. This class of beamsplitters in principle allows a combination of short atomic de Broglie wavelength and a smooth splitting potential. Practically the challenge comes from the suppression of the coupling between the symmetric and anti-symmetric states of the confined atomic waves during the splitting. The suppression favors a quick splitting and thus a sharp splitting potential
