This unique book demonstrates the undivided unity and infinite diversity of quantum mechanics using a single phenomenon: quantum bounces of ultra-cold particles.

Various examples of such "quantum bounces" are: gravitational quantum states of ultra-cold neutrons (the first observed quantum states of matter in a gravitational field), the neutron whispering gallery (an observed matter-wave analog of the whispering gallery effect well known in acoustics and for electromagnetic waves), and gravitational and whispering gallery states for anti-matter atoms that remain to be observed.

These quantum states are an invaluable tool in the search for additional fundamental short-range forces, for exploring the gravitational interaction and quantum effects of gravity, for probing physics beyond the standard model, and for furthering studies into the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum optics, and surface science.

Contents:

  • The Fast, the Heavy and the Free
  • When a Particle Becomes a Wave
  • Bouncing Neutrons
  • Bouncing Particles and Their Applications

Readership: Graduates students and researchers in the field of quantum mechanics.
Key Features:

  • Provides a unique exploration of whole quantum mechanics using a single phenomenon: quantum bounces of massive particles
  • Written by the leading experts in the field of fundamental and applied investigations with ultracold quantum systems (quantum bounces)
  • Combines eye-catching images, highly intuitive and simultaneously rigorous description, and a stimulating set of problems-to-solve and suggestions for individual research
