Observation of the Spatial Distribution of Gravitationally Bound Quantum States of Ultracold Neutrons and Its Derivation Using the Wigner Function

G. Ichikawa, S. Komamiya, Y. Kamiya +9

Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) can be bound by the potential of terrestrial gravity and a reflecting mirror. The wave function of the bound state has characteristic modulations. We carr…
