We introduce an analytical phase-reconstruction principle that retrieves atomic scale motion via timedomaininterferometry. The approach is based on a resonant interaction with high-frequency light and doesnot require temporal resolution on the time scale of the resonance period. It is thus applicable to hard x raysand γ rays for measurements of extremely small spatial displacements or relative-frequency changes. Here,it is applied to retrieve the temporal phase of a 14.4 keVemission line of an 57Fe sample, which correspondsto a spatial translation of this sample. The small wavelength of this transition (λ ¼ 0.86 Å) allows fordetermining the motion of the emitter on sub-Ångström length and nanosecond timescales.
