Dark matter is an invisible substance that makes up about 27% of the universe, while the "regular" matter that composes planets, stars, and everything else we can see makes up only 5%.

A matter-wave interferometer has measured the effect of gravity on individual atoms at the highest precision to date. That is according to its creators in the US and Italy, who built their instrument ...

The wave nature of matter becomes visible in interference experiments 1.Interferometry with atoms has become an important tool for both fundamental and applied experiments in the diverse fields of ...

A matter-wave interferometer is ‘universal’ if it can be applied to any atom or molecule irrespective of its internal state. This removes the need to prepare a spatially coherent incident beam.

Matter-wave interferometry relies on the quantum behavior of ultracold atoms, which, at extremely low temperatures, act more like waves than particles.

Matter wave interferometry has a long standing tradition at the University of Vienna, where the first quantum interference of large molecules has already been observed in 1999.

At the heart of this breakthrough device is something called "matter wave interferometry," which uses two distinct characteristics of quantum mechanics: wave-particle duality and superposition.

Oct 22, 2022: An entangled matter-wave interferometer: Now with double the spookiness (Nanowerk News) JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson’s team of researchers have for the first time successfully ...

But scientists still have problems conducting matter-wave interferometry on larger molecules because they can easily be broken down into pieces during a measurement. Back in 1999, Arndt and his ...

Matter waves constitute a crucial feature of quantum mechanics, where particles have wave properties in addition to particle characteristics. This wave-particle duality was postulated already in ...

Gravitational wave detectors like LIGO use interferometry to sense the ripples of spacetime caused by the motion and interactions of massive objects like black holes and neutron stars.

Cold atoms in space could target gravitational waves. Shimon Kolkowitz of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US points out that many other proposals based on matter-wave interferometry use ...
