The quantum dynamics of the two-dimensional image-potential states in front of the Cu(100) surface is measured by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). The dispersion relation and the momentum resolved phase-relaxation time of the first image-potential state are determined from the quantum interference patterns in the local density of states (LDOS) at step edges. It is demonstrated that the tip-induced Stark shift does not affect the motion of the electrons parallel to the surface.
