International audienceWe propose a method to focus a cloud of condensed atoms by imprinting a phase on the atomic wave function. The main goal of our experiment under construction is to study the conditions of realization of atomic holography or deposition in the nanometer range. This experiment will also investigate the role of the atom-atom interactions in these processes
