SUMMARY:The Quantum Neutron – Dmitry Pushin\, UWaterloo
DESCRIPTION:Dmitry Pushin\, Assistant Professor\, Institute for Quantum Co
 mputing\,Department of Physics and Astronomy\, University of Waterloo.
\nA
 bstractThe neutron\, one of the most common building blocks of matter\, is
  also a unique probe for studying materials and fundamental interactions. 
 The only electrically-neutral nucleus\, the neutron passes through most ma
 terials with ease\, even at the lowest energies. Nowadays neutrons\, even 
 with their ~ 15 minute lifetime\, are used to study problems ranging from 
 current flow in common batteries to cosmological dark energy.  I focus on
  the neutron as a quantum particle. We use a Mach-Zehnder neutron interfer
 ometer to fork a neutron into superposition states separated by decimeters
 \, to exploit macroscopic quantum interference. I discuss recent experimen
 tal searches for dark energy\, the use of quantum information concepts to 
 enhance coherence\, and the twisting of neutron waves.
