Series Oxford series in neutron scattering in condensed matter ; 12
Contents Neutron interferometers and apparatus -- Neutron interactions and the coherent scattering lengths -- Coherence and decoherence -- Spinor symmetry and spin superposition -- Topological and geometric phases -- Contextuality and Kochen-Specker phenomena -- Gravitational, inertial, and motional effects -- Solid state physics applications -- Forthcoming, proposed, and more speculative experiments -- Perfect crystal neutron optics -- Interpretational questions and conclusions
Summary 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 results of interference experiments related to coherence and decoherence of matter waves and certain post-selection variations, gravitationally induced quantum phase shifts, Berry's geometrical phases, spinor symmetry and spin superposition, and Bell's inequalities are all discussed
