Abstract:
Neutron interferometry based on perfect silicon crystals was established 50 years ago and is still a very versatile tool [1]. It is used in various flields of physics, from scattering length measurements to cosmology and quantum physics. I will explain how it works and present some typical experiments. In the second part, I will go into the details of a new version of the classical double-slit experiment [2] and present the concept of “weak values” in quantum mechanics.
