Impact of molecular properties on diffraction at nanomasks with low charge density
Ksenija Simonović, Richard Ferstl, Anders Barlow +3
The quantum wave nature of matter is a cornerstone of modern physics, which has been demonstrated for a wide range of fundamental and composite particles. While diffraction at nano…
Highly sensitive single-molecule detection in slow protein ion beams
M. Strauß, A. Shayeghi, M. F. X. Mauser +18
The analysis of proteins in the gas phase benefits from detectors that exhibit high efficiency and precise spatial resolution. Although modern secondary electron multipliers alread…
Nanoscale magnetism probed in a matter-wave interferometer
Yaakov Y. Fein, Sebastian Pedalino, Armin Shayeghi +3
We explore a wide range of fundamental magnetic phenomena by measuring the dephasing of matter-wave interference fringes upon application of a variable magnetic gradient. The versa…
Cold Atoms in Space: Community Workshop Summary and Proposed Road-Map
Ivan Alonso, Cristiano Alpigiani, Brett Altschul +246
We summarize the discussions at a virtual Community Workshop on Cold Atoms in Space concerning the status of cold atom technologies, the prospective scientific and societal opportu…
Matter-wave interference of a native polypeptide
Armin Shayeghi, Philipp Rieser, Georg Richter +5
The de Broglie wave nature of matter is a paradigmatic example of fundamental quantum physics and enables precise measurements of forces, fundamental constants and even material pr…
AEDGE: Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration in Space
Yousef Abou El-Neaj, Cristiano Alpigiani, Sana Amairi-Pyka +129
We propose in this White Paper a concept for a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range bet…
Conformer-selection by matter-wave interference
Christian Brand, Benjamin A. Stickler, Christian Knobloch +3
We establish that matter-wave interference at near-resonant ultraviolet optical gratings can be used to spatially separate individual conformers of complex molecules. Our calculati…
