Neutron interferometry : lessons in experimental quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, and entanglement /

Quantum mechanics is a part of physics where experiment and theory are inseparably intertwined. This general theme permeates the 2nd edition of this book. It discusses more than 40 neutron interferometry experiments along with their theoretical motivations and explanations. The basic ideas and resul...
