Quantum entanglement

Real and imaginary part of two different Bell-like neutron quantum statesThese demonstrate the entanglement of path and spin degrees of freedom.

Quantum entanglement

With a similar experimental arrangement as for the previous example the entanglement in a single-neutron system of external and internal degrees of freedom has been measured.
This demonstrated for the first time quantum contextuality and the feasibility to produce Greenburger-Horne-Zeilinger states of neutrons.
