First demonstration of Antimatter Quantum Interference
Interference of matter waves is at the heart of quantum physics and has been observed for a wide range of matter particles from electrons to complex molecules. Here, I will discuss quantum interference of single positrons, obtained in the frame of the Quplas project, by means of a Talbot-Lau interferometer based on material diffraction gratings. This is the first interferometry experiment ever made with an antiparticle as well as the second demonstration of an elementary constituent single-particle interference.
