A REVIEW OF THE EXPERIMENTAL TESTS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
S. K. Lamoreaux
A review of the experimental tests of quantum mechanics is presented. Tests of the wave-particle duality of matter for atoms, electrons, and neutrons are discussed. Also covered are applications of neutron interferometry to a variety of quantum mechanics tests. Tests of the topological nature of quantum mechanics (Aharonov-Bohm effect, Aharonov-Casher effect, Berry’s phase, Aharonov-Anandan phase) are reviewed. Other topics reviewed include the experimental tests of the Bell inequality, nonlinear additions to the Schrödinger equation, the Pauli exclusion principle, the Zeno effect, and the uniqueness of ħ.
