Quantum Reflection Effects in the Diffraction of Matter Waves
Johannes Fiedler, Eivind K. Osestad, Fabian Spallek +3
Among the fundamental quantum effects, quantum reflection (QR) is one of the most notable phenomena. Approximating arbitrary potentials in the Schrödinger equation as multistep po…

Probing the geometry dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction by matter-wave diffraction at a nano-grating
Matthieu Bruneau, Julien Lecoffre, Gabin Routier +4
Atomic diffraction through a nanograting is a powerful tool to probe the Casimir-Polder potential. Achieving precise measurements require simulations to bridge theory and experimen…
