The aim is to make the step from geometrical optics to quantum optics where the neutron as a measuring particle should be treated as a quantum object rather than a classical particle.
Perfect crystals are essential components for advanced neutron optics.
The collaboration will be very important for the further development of large perfect single crystals, gradient single crystals and multiple single crystals. The project seeks to optimize the utilization of existing neutron sources and to prepare the ground for a full exploitation of more intense future sources.
