Probing Single-Particle Spatial Extent With Helical Neutron Wavefronts
D. Sarenac, O. Lailey, C. W. Clark +8
Distinguishing transverse coherence length from single-particle wavepacket extent is fundamentally challenging, as both manifest through spatial broadening of observed intensity pr…
Introduction to Quantum Ophthalmology
Mukhit Kulmaganbetov, Dmitry Pushin, Taranjit Singh +6
Quantum technologies are rapidly advancing across multiple research domains, with a growing impact on biomedical imaging and sensing. We examine their emerging role in ophthalmolog…
Environmental Stabilization of Perfect-Crystal Neutron Interferometry Using a Large Vacuum Chamber with Cryogenic Sample Access
Robert Valdillez, David G. Cory, Robert W. Haun +9
Perfect-crystal neutron interferometry has been a useful tool in measuring nuclear-interactions, probing fundamental physics, and exploring quantum phenomenon. Historically, neutro…
A unified quantum random walk model for internal crystal effects in dynamical diffraction
Owen Lailey, Dusan Sarenac, David G. Cory +2
The theory of dynamical diffraction (DD) in perfect crystals is the backbone of high-precision neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments, enabling accurate determination of crystal…
A perfect crystal neutron loop cavity
Owen Lailey, Dusan Sarenac, David G. Cory +2
Coherent control of neutrons via Bragg diffraction forms the foundation of perfect crystal neutron interferometry, facilitating both fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and appl…
A generalized K-space coherent averaging method for engineering lattices of spin-orbit beams
Pinki Chahal, Naume Shentevski, Priyanka Vadnere +4
Spin-orbit beams, in which the orbital angular momentum degree of freedom is coupled to a two-level system such as polarization of light or spin in electrons and neutrons, have gai…
