Interferometry with Macromolecules: Quantum Paradigms Tested in the Mesoscopic World

  • Chapter
Quantum [Un]speakables

Abstract

When thinking about quantum non-locality a modern physicist would probably think of two-particle entanglement first. And many beautiful experimental demonstrations have been published on quantum systems which violate Bell's inequalities [1].
