13. The longitudinal oscillation time in the FORT is ∼450 ms, which is sufficiently long so longitudinal motion will not play a role in our experiment, since it is suppressed by the multiple-π technique. Therefore in the following |n〈 refers to eigen-states of the transverse motion.

16. The trap in the experiment reported here is ∼4.5 times deeper than the trap used in Ref. [4], hence the echo coherence time is shorter. The Ramsey decoherence time, which is determined mainly by the temperature of the atoms, is almost equal.
17. F population difference of the former is roughly half that of the latter.
