What is it about?

We reported the first successful operation of a neutron interferometer with a separate beam-recombining crystal

Why is it important?

While previous interferometers have always been machined out of a single-crystal block, we successfully realigned the interferometer crystals on nanoradian and picometre scales.

Perspectives

This result opens the door to a new generation of neutron interferometers and exciting applications.
