Spin-Energy Entanglement of a Time-Focused Neutron

J. C. Leiner, S. J. Kuhn, S. McKay +15

Intra-particle entanglement of individual particles such as neutrons could enable another class of scattering probes that are sensitive to entanglement in quantum systems and mater…

Entangled-Beam Reflectometry and Goos-Hänchen Shift

Q. Le Thien, R. Pynn, G. Ortiz

We introduce the technique of Entangled-Beam Reflectometry for extracting spatially correlated (magnetic or non-magnetic) information from material surfaces or thin films. Our ampl…

Neutron spin echo is a "quantum tale of two paths''

S. McKay, A. A. M. Irfan, Q. Le Thien +7

We describe an experiment that strongly supports a two-path interferometric model in which the spin-up and spin-down components of each neutron propagate coherently along spatially…

Correcting Aberrations of a Transverse-Field Neutron Resonance Spin Echo Instrument

Stephen J. Kuhn, Sam McKay, Fankang Li +5

The neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) technique has the potential to increase the Fourier time and energy resolution in neutron scattering by using radio-frequency (rf) neutron sp…

Spin-Textured Neutron Beams with Orbital Angular Momentum

Quan Le Thien, Sam McKay, Roger Pynn +1

We present a rigorous theoretical framework underpinning the technique of spin-echo modulated small-angle neutron scattering (SEMSANS), and show how the technique can be extended i…

Neutron State Entanglement with Overlapping Paths

S. J. Kuhn, S. McKay, J. Shen +12

The development of direct probes of entanglement is integral to the rapidly expanding field of complex quantum materials. Here we test the robustness of entangled neutrons as a qua…

Quantum Entangled-Probe Scattering Theory

Abu Ashik Md Irfan, Patrick Blackstone, Roger Pynn +1

We develop an entangled-probe scattering theory, including quantum detection, that extends the scope of standard scattering approaches. We argue that these probes may be revolution…

An Operator Analysis of Contextuality Witness Measurements for Multimode-Entangled Single Neutron Interferometry

Shufan Lu, Abu Ashik Md. Irfan, Jiazhou Shen +5

We develop an operator-based description of two types of multimode-entangled single-neutron quantum optical devices: Wollaston prisms and radio-frequency spin flippers in inclined…

Unveiling contextual realities by microscopically entangling a neutron

J. Shen, S. J. Kuhn, R. M. Dalgliesh +13

The development of qualitatively new measurement capabilities is often a prerequisite for critical scientific and technological advances. The dramatic progress made by modern probe…
