Date: Wednesday 13 September 2017

Time: 18:00

Venue: Abreu Faro Amphitheatre, Interdisciplinary Building, IST, Lisbon
​
​Abstract:
Recent de Broglie wave interference experiments with atoms have achieved wavepacket separations as large as 54 cm over time intervals of 2 sec. These experiments, and their impact on gravitational and quantum physics, will be discussed.


Organized by:​
