The quantum interference of de Broglie matter waves is probably one of the most startling and fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. It continues to tax our imaginations and leads us to new experimental windows on nature. Quantum interference phenomena are vividly displayed in the wide assembly of neutron interferometry experiments, which have been carried out since the first demonstration of a perfect silicon crystal interferometer in 1974. Since the...

Review

"This recommended book bridges experimental and theoretical physics. ... Over 40 fascinating experiments and their relevant physical theories are described in detail." --Optics & Photonics News

"The second edition is far more than just an update of the first edition. It demonstrates the genuine links that exist between the field of neutron interferometry and the most recent questions on how to interpret the quantum world. It can be used as...
