The Talbot effect, also referred to as self-imaging or lensless imaging, is of the phenomena
manifested by a periodic repetition of planar field distributions in certain types of wave fields …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

The capability to reach ultracold atomic temperatures in compact instruments has recently
been extended into space,. Ultracold temperatures amplify quantum effects, whereas free …

Angular momentum plays a central role in quantum mechanics, recurring in every length
scale from the microscopic interactions of light and matter to the macroscopic behavior of …

Recent progress and future prospects of matter-wave interferometry with complex organic
molecules and inorganic clusters are reviewed. Three variants of a near-field interference …

Wave–particle duality is frequently the first topic students encounter in elementary quantum
physics. Although this phenomenon has been demonstrated with photons, electrons …

Bruce H. Lipton tinha sete anos quando pela primeira vez pôs os olhos num microscópio.
Foi amor à primeira vista. Anos mais tarde, já professor de Medicina na Universidade do …

We demonstrate a near-field Talbot-Lau interferometer for C 70 fullerene molecules. Such
interferometers are particularly suitable for larger masses. Using three free-standing gold …

We propose an experimentally accessible, objective measure for the macroscopicity of
superposition states in mechanical quantum systems. Based on the observable …

We demonstrate quantum interference for tetraphenylporphyrin, the first biomolecule
exhibiting wave nature, and for the fluorofullerene C 60 F 48 using a near-field Talbot-Lau …
