Interference of mesoscopic particles: quantum--classical transition
arXiv:quant-ph/0509032 · doi:10.1007/s11080-007-9042-6
Abstract
We analyze the double slit interference of a mesoscopic particle. We calculate the visibility of the interference pattern, introduce a characteristic temperature that defines the onset to decoherence and scrutinize the conditions that must be satisfied for an interference experiment to be possible.
