Talbot Effect with Matter Waves
Abstract
Talbot effect in the space-time evolution of matter waves is analyzed and shown that the matter waves at relativistic and non-relativistic velocities exhibit coherence beyond the grating and display Talbot self-imaging. The grating is realized by considering equidistant narrowly peaked coherent probability distributions at the onset. Theoretical frame work is based on a quantum particle at relativistic and non-relativistic velocities in a one dimensional box. The matter waves, in their evolution, display Talbot self-imaging and fractional self-imaging as restructuring, respectively, at Talbot length and fractional Talbot lengths.
