    • Decoupling of a neutron interferometer from temperature gradients 

      Saggu, Parminder; Mineeva, Taisiya; Arif, Muhammad; Cory, David G.; Haun, Robert; Heacock, Benjamin; Huber, Michael G.; Li, Ke; Nsofini, Joachim; Sarenac, Dusan; Shahi, Chandra B.; Skavysh, Vladimir; Snow, W. Michael; Werner, Samuel A.; Young, Albert R.; Pushin, Dimitry A. (AIP Publishing, 2016-12-16)
      Neutron interferometry enables precision measurements that are typically operated within elaborate, multi-layered facilities which provide substantial shielding from environmental noise. These facilities are necessary to ...
    • Increased interference fringe visibility from the post-fabrication heat treatment of a perfect crystal silicon neutron interferometer 

      Heacock, Benjamin; Arif, Muhammad; Cory, David G.; Gnaeupel-Herold, Thomas; Haun, Robert; Huber, Michael G.; Jamer, Michelle E.; Nsofini, Joachim; Pushin, Dimitry A.; Sarenac, Dusan; Taminiau, Ivan; Young, Albert R. (AIP Publishing, 2018-02-08)
      We find that annealing a previously chemically etched interferometer at 800 degrees C dramatically increased the interference fringe visibility from 23% to 90%. The Bragg plane misalignments were also measured before and ...
    • Neutron Interferometry at the National Institute of Standards and Technology 

      Pushin, Dimitry A.; Huber, Michael G.; Arif, Muhammad; Shahi, Chandra B.; Nsofini, Joachim; Wood, Christopher J.; Sarenac, Dusan; Cory, David G. (Hindawi, 2015)
      Neutron interferometry has proved to be a very precise technique for measuring the quantum mechanical phase of a neutron caused by a potential energy difference between two spatially separated neutron paths inside ...
    • Neutron limit on the strongly-coupled chameleon field 

      Li, Ke; Arif, Muhammad; Cory, David G.; Haun, Robert; Heacock, Benjamin; Huber, Michael G.; Nsofini, Joachim; Pushin, Dimitry A.; Saggu, Parminder; Sarenac, Dusan; Shahi, Chandra B.; Skavysh, Vladimir; Snow, W. Michael; Young, Albert R. (American Physical Society, 2016-03-11)
      The physical origin of the dark energy that causes the accelerated expansion rate of the Universe is one of the major open questions of cosmology. One set of theories postulates the existence of a self-interacting scalar ...
    • Noise refocusing in a five-blade neutron interferometer 

      Nsofini, Joachim; Sarenac, Dusan; Ghofrani, Kamyar; Huber, Michael G.; Arif, Muhammad; Cory, David G.; Pushin, Dimitry A. (AIP Publishing, 2017-08-07)
      We provide a quantum information description of a proposed five-blade neutron interferometer geometry and show that it is robust against low-frequency mechanical vibrations and dephasing due to the dynamical phase. The ...
    • Quantum Information Enabled Neutron Interferometry 

      Nsofini, Joachim (University of Waterloo, 2017-06-12)
      Neutron interferometry with its ability to encode and extract information provides a test bed for quantum mechanics and precise measurement of physical quantities of significant importance in physics. However, this ...
    • Quantum-information approach to dynamical diffraction theory 

      Nsofini, Joachim; Ghofrani, Kamyar; Sarenac, Dusan; Cory, David G.; Pushin, Dimitry A. (American Physical Society, 2016-12-08)
      We present a simplified model for dynamical diffraction of particles through a periodic thick perfect crystal based on repeated application of a coherent beam-splitting unitary at coarse-grained lattice sites. By demanding ...
    • Spin-orbit states of neutron wave packets 

      Nsofini, Joachim; Sarenac, Dusan; Wood, Christopher J.; Cory, David G.; Arif, Muhammad; Clark, Charles W.; Huber, Michael G.; Pushin, Dimitry A. (American Physical Society, 2016-07-13)
      We propose amethod to prepare an entangled spin-orbit state between the spin and the orbital angular momenta of a neutron wave packet. This spin-orbit state is created by passing neutrons through the center of a quadrupole ...
