Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

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 …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

The quantum superposition principle, a key distinction between quantum physics and
classical mechanics, is often perceived as a philosophical challenge to our concepts 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 …

We review the quantum version of the linear Boltzmann equation, which describes in a non-
perturbative fashion, by means of scattering theory, how the quantum motion of a single test …

We present a theoretical framework to describe the effects of decoherence on matter waves
in Talbot-Lau interferometry. Using a Wigner description of the stationary beam the loss of …

We propose to test the theory of continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) in an all-optical
time-domain Talbot-Lau interferometer for clusters with masses exceeding 10 6 amu. By …

In a recent experiment (Wang, e-print cond-mat/0407689), it was observed that a sequence
of two standing-wave square pulses can split a Bose-Einstein Condensate at rest into±2 ℏ k …

The time evolution of a neutrino is dependent on its initial properties at creation including
flavor, energy, and wave packet size. There exists no solid theoretical prediction for the latter …
