Abstract
We investigate the coherent motion of atomic de Broglie waves in tailored complex periodic potentials made of light (light crystals) [1,2]. Depending on the potential height one observes diffraction phenomena like Bragg scattering (weak potential, no bound states) or quantum channelling (strong potential, many bound states).
