After successful completion of the course, students are able to categorise different interferometers, to describe their installation, to define topological and geometrical phases as well as to explain the Kochen-Specker paradox.

Foundation of x-ray and neutron interferometer experiments, Larmor interferomter (polarimeter), topological phase, Aharanov-Bohm/Casher effect, geometric phase (Berry phase), Bell's inequality, Kochen-Specker paradox, contextuality

Lecture with digital presentations to visualise physical laws and the installation of equipment. The lecture‘s script should help to repeat and deepen the matter.

Examination modalities consist either of an oral examination, a presentation on one of the lecture‘s subjects or of providing written answers of specifically developed audit questions.
