Journal ArticleDOI
Wave–particle duality of C 60 molecules
TL;DR: The observation of de Broglie wave interference of C60 molecules by diffraction at a material absorption grating is reported, which is the most massive and complex object in which wave behaviour has been observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum interference of large organic molecules
Stefan Gerlich,Sandra Eibenberger,Mathias Tomandl,Stefan Nimmrichter,Klaus Hornberger,Paul J. Fagan,Jens Tüxen,Marcel Mayor,Marcel Mayor,Markus Arndt +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that even complex systems, with more than 1,000 internal degrees of freedom, can be prepared in quantum states that are sufficiently well isolated from their environment to avoid decoherence and to show almost perfect coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the limits of quantum mechanical superpositions
Markus Arndt,Klaus Hornberger +1 more
TL;DR: The question of whether the linearity of quantum mechanics extends into the macroscopic domain has been studied for decades as discussed by the authors, and it is an open question whether this debate may be settled by table-top experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoherence of matter waves by thermal emission of radiation
Lucia Hackermüller,Klaus Hornberger,Björn Brezger,Björn Brezger,Anton Zeilinger,Markus Arndt +5 more
TL;DR: Good quantitative agreement is found between the experimental observations and microscopic decoherence theory of matter wave interferometer experiments in which C70 molecules lose their quantum behaviour by thermal emission of radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloquium: Quantum interference of clusters and molecules
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical concepts underlying these experiments and the experimental challenges are discussed, including optimizing interferometer designs as well as understanding the role of decoherence, and the potential for probing the quantum superposition principle in the limit of high particle mass and complexity.
