Atomic-scale double-slit interferometry with a focused electron probe.

Since Young's original work with light 1 , double-slit interference experiments have been paradigmatic demonstrations of wave-particle duality 2-6 .

Since Young's original work with light 1 , double-slit interference experiments have been paradigmatic demonstrations of wave-particle duality 2-6 . They now underpin modern electron, neutron, atom and molecule interferometers, whose fringe visibility and phase encode…
