Abstract

In this chapter we focus on particle optics, i.e., atom optics, neutron optics, and non-ballistic electron optics. The recent literature is concerned mainly with atom optics due to the larger wealth of phenomena encountered in comparison to neutron or electron optics. We therefore also dedicate a much greater space to atom optics. The interaction with the environment and the possibility of manipulating quantum particles depends on the particle type: neutrons are spin-1/2 particles, thus fermions, whereas atoms can be fermions or bosons, as in Bose—Einstein condensates, for example. Atom optics usually refers to neutral atoms, which interact in a quite different manner with matter compared to electrically charged electrons. In particular, atom interaction with static electromagnetic fields is much weaker. On the other hand atoms are easier to produce than neutrons. No particle accelerator or nuclear reactor is needed. Moreover, recent progress in the generation and manipulation of Bose—Einstein condensates has led not only to the development of intense and coherent atom beams that can be referred to as atom laser beams, but also to the development of atom optical components able to preserve this coherence [see for example Bloch et al. (2001)].
