=== Neutral atoms === [[Atom interferometer]]s, similar to [[interferometer|optical interferometers]], measure the difference in phase between atomic matter waves along different paths. [[Atom optics]] mimic many light optic devices, including [[Atomic mirror|mirrors]], atom focusing zone plates. [[Scanning helium microscopy]] uses He atom waves to image solid structures non-destructively. [[Quantum reflection]] uses matter wave behavior to explain grazing angle atomic reflection, the basis of some [[atomic mirror]]s. [[Quantum decoherence#Experimental observations|Quantum decoherence]] measurements rely on Rb atom wave interference.
