A Kapitza-Dirac-Talbot-Lau interferometer for highly polarizable molecules
Stefan Gerlich, Lucia Hackermueller, Klaus Hornberger +8
Research on matter waves is a thriving field of quantum physics and has recently stimulated many investigations with electrons, neutrons, atoms, Bose-condensed ensembles, cold clus…
Influence of molecular temperature on the coherence of fullerenes in a near-field interferometer
Klaus Hornberger, Lucia Hackermueller, Markus Arndt
We study C70 fullerene matter waves in a Talbot-Lau interferometer as a function of their temperature. While the ideal fringe visibility is observed at moderate molecular temperatu…
Talbot-Lau interferometry with fullerenes: Sensitivity to inertial forces and vibrational dephasing
A. Stibor, K. Hornberger, L. Hackermueller +2
We discuss matter wave experiments in a near-field interferometer and focus on dephasing phenomena due to inertial forces. Their presence may result in a significant reduction of t…
