On a possible way to detect de Broglie's waves

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

According to de Broglie an atomic system results from the association of a localized object and an extended ondulatory phenomenon interacting through the “quantum potential”. A natural developement of this picture implies the existence of new effects in the superposition of incoherent waves, for example in neutron interferometric experiments.
