Experimental challenges for high-mass matter-wave interference with nanoparticles
Sebastian Pedalino, Bruno Ramírez Galindo, Tomas de Sousa +4
We discuss recent advances towards matter-wave interference experiments with free beams of metallic and dielectric nanoparticles. They require a brilliant source, an efficient dete…
Nanoscale magnetism probed in a matter-wave interferometer
Yaakov Y. Fein, Sebastian Pedalino, Armin Shayeghi +3
We explore a wide range of fundamental magnetic phenomena by measuring the dephasing of matter-wave interference fringes upon application of a variable magnetic gradient. The versa…
Single-, double-, and triple-slit diffraction of molecular matter-waves
Christian Brand, Stephan Troyer, Christian Knobloch +2
Even 100 years after its introduction by Louis de Broglie, the wave-nature of matter is often regarded as a mind-boggling phenomenon. To give an intuitive introduction to this fiel…
Experimental decoherence in molecule interferometry
Markus Arndt, Stefan Gerlich, Klaus Hornberger
Complex molecules are intriguing objects at the interface between quantum and classical phenomena. Compared to the electrons, neutrons, or atoms studied in earlier matter-wave expe…
Kapitza-Dirac blockade: A universal tool for the deterministic preparation of non-Gaussian oscillator states
Wayne Cheng-Wei Huang, Herman Batelaan, Markus Arndt
Harmonic oscillators count among the most fundamental quantum systems with important applications in molecular physics, nanoparticle trapping, and quantum information processing. T…
Bragg diffraction of large organic molecules
Christian Brand, Filip Kiałka, Stephan Troyer +5
We demonstrate Bragg diffraction of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the dye molecule phthalocyanine at a thick optical grating. The observed patterns show a single dominant diffra…
