Quantum interference observed in state-resolved molecule-surface scattering

Rainer Beck, Christopher Scott Reilly, Liang Zhang

Although the dynamics of collisions between a molecule and a solid surface are ultimately quantum mechanical, decohering effects owing to the large number of interacting degrees of freedom typically obscure the wavelike nature of these events. However, a p ...
