Quantum interferometry: Matter waves in a new light

Quantum interferometry: Matter waves in a new light

Ionizing radiation can diffract molecules and demonstrate a novel matter-wave interferometer. Ionization gratings may now enable quantum interference with heavier particles and interferometric measurements with higher precision.
