Neutron Interferometry: Theory and Applications (Volume II) - by Scott Cronan (Hardcover)

About the Book

Neutron interferometry is a groundbreaking technique in quantum physics that harnesses the wave-particle duality of neutrons to seek fundamental phenomena. In these experiments, a beam of neutrons is split into multiple paths using a beam splitter and then recombined, leading to interference patterns. These patterns provide valuable insights into quantum mechanics, particle behavior and fundamental symmetries. Neutron interferometry has diverse applications, spanning from materials science to nuclear physics. By studying neutron behavior in interferometry setups, wave-particle duality, quantum entanglement and parity violation can be understood. The precision and versatility of this technique makes it invaluable for both fundamental research and practical applications. Neutron interferometry not only deepens our understanding of quantum phenomena but also contributes to the development of advanced technologies, including quantum computing and neutron-based imaging. Through ongoing advancements in neutron interferometry, new fields of quantum mechanics continue to unlock and pave the way for future innovations. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to neutron interferometry. Such selected concepts that redefine quantum mechanics have been presented in this book. It is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
