Quantum reflection and interference of matter waves from periodically doped surfaces
Benjamin A. Stickler, Uzi Even, Klaus Hornberger
We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting t…
Stochastic extensions of the regularized Schrödinger-Newton equation
Stefan Nimmrichter, Klaus Hornberger
We show that the Schrödinger-Newton equation, which describes the nonlinear time evolution of self-gravitating quantum matter, can be made compatible with the no-signaling requirem…
Testing the limits of quantum mechanical superpositions
Markus Arndt, Klaus Hornberger
Quantum physics has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike, because it challenges our notions of reality and locality--concepts that we have grown to rely on in our macroscopi…
Influence of conformational molecular dynamics on matter wave interferometry
Michael Gring, Stefan Gerlich, Sandra Eibenberger +9
We investigate the influence of thermally activated internal molecular dynamics on the phase shifts of matter waves inside a molecule interferometer. While de Broglie physics gener…
Optomechanical sensing of spontaneous wave-function collapse
Stefan Nimmrichter, Klaus Hornberger, Klemens Hammerer
Quantum experiments with nanomechanical oscillators are regarded as a testbed for hypothetical modifications of the Schrödinger equation, which predict a breakdown of the superposi…
Incoherent Control of the Retinal Isomerization in Rhodopsin
Felix Lucas, Klaus Hornberger
We propose to control the retinal photoisomerization yield through the back-action dynamics imparted by a nonselective optical measurement of the molecular electronic state. This i…
