我们报告的中子干涉实验的结果，第一次（据我们所知）的相移的中子德布罗意布罗意引起的运动物质已被成功地测量。该实验是光学斐索效应的量子力学模拟。观察到的相移是由物质本身的运动引起的，而不是由其边界的运动引起的。实验结果与理论预测吻合较好。文中还报道了在实验中观察到的一些未曾报道过的中子波干涉效应。
We report the results of a neutron interferometry experiment where for the first time (to our knowledge) a phase shift of a neutron de Broglie wave induced by moving matter has been successfully measured. This experiment is the quantum-mechanical analog of the optical Fizeau effect. The observed phase shift is caused by the motion of matter itself, and not by the motion of its boundaries. The experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Some unexpected and previously unreported neutron wave interference effects observed during the experiment are also reported.
