Quantum Optomechanics for Fundamental Experiments in Space (QOFES)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"Quantum theory has been confirmed to extreme accuracy in a vast variety of experiments over the last century. While most of these experiments have been limited to a microscopic scale, several milestones in demonstrating quantum effects for more and more massive objects have been achieved, in particular by experiments on the interference of large molecules. In the last few years, a new approach t ...
