After successful completion of the course, students are able to categorise different interferometers, to describe their installation, to define topological and geometrical phases as well as to explain the Kochen-Specker paradox.

<This lecture is planned to be given as "Block" in December. Send an e-mail to yuji.hasegawa[AT]tuwien.ac.at to take the lecture and get moer information. >

Introduction to x-ray/neutron perfect-crystal interferometer, Larmor interferometer (polarimeter), Topological phase, Aharanov-Bohm/Casher effect, Geometric phase, Bell's inequality, Kochen-Specker paradox

Lecture with digital presentations to visualise physical laws and the installation of equipment. The lecture‘s script should help to repeat and deepen the matter.

Examination modalities consist either of an oral examination, a presentation on one of the lecture‘s subjects or of providing written answers of specifically developed audit questions.
