What is it about?
The paper investigates the specifications necessary for successfully operating a split-crystal neutron interferometer. Both incoherent sources and the three-dimensional operation of the interferometer are considered.

Why is it important?
It opens the way to the construction and operation of skew-symmetric interferometers with extended arm separation and length.
Perspectives
Interferometers operating with both X-rays and neutrons and having the potential of crystal separations up to the metre scale open the way to new experiments exploring quantum mechanics and its relation to gravity.
