Abstract

A theorem that relies only on the unitary property of the Schroedinger equation and not upon any classical or semi-classical approximation negates some, but not all, suggestions that have been made for measuring the neutron's electric-dipole moment by interferometry.

Keywords

no-go theorem matter-wave interferometry neutron electric-dipole moment unitary property Schroedinger equation
