Probing quantum mechanics using nanoparticle Schrödinger cats

Sebastian Pedalino, Bruno E. Ramírez-Galindo, Richard Ferstl +3

The quantum superposition principle is a cornerstone of physics and at the heart of many quantum technologies. Yet, it is still often regarded counterintuitive because we do not ob…

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…

Experimental decoherence in molecule interferometry

Markus Arndt, Stefan Gerlich, Klaus Hornberger

Complex molecules are intriguing objects at the interface between quantum and classical phenomena. Compared to the electrons, neutrons, or atoms studied in earlier matter-wave expe…
