Interferometry with Atoms
by J.-F. Schaff, T. Langen, J. Schmiedmayer
Publisher: arXiv 2015
Number of pages: 96
Description:
Optics and interferometry with matter waves is the art of coherently manipulating the translational motion of particles like neutrons, atoms and molecules. Coherent atom optics is an extension of techniques that were developed for manipulating internal quantum states.
