Diffracting molecular matter-waves at deep-ultraviolet standing-light waves
Ksenija Simonović, Richard Ferstl, Alfredo Di Silvestro +6
Matter-wave interferometry with molecules is intriguing both because it demonstrates a fundamental quantum phenomenon and because it opens avenues to quantum-enhanced measurements…
Probing molecular photophysics in a matter-wave interferometer
Lukas Martinetz, Benjamin A. Stickler, Ksenija Simonović +4
We show that matter-wave diffraction off a single standing laser wave can be used as an accurate measurement scheme for photophysical molecular parameters. These include state-depe…
Requirements for probing chiral Casimir-Polder forces in a molecular Talbot-Lau interferometer
Fumika Suzuki, S. A. Shah, Diego A. R. Dalvit +1
We theoretically investigate the influence of chiral Casimir-Polder (CP) forces in Talbot-Lau interferometry, based on three nanomechanical gratings. We study scenarios where the s…
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…
