This volume tries to continue a tradition of reviews of the
contemporary research on the foundations of modern physics begun by
the volume on the Einstein- Podolsky-Rosen paradox that appeared a
few years ago. (I) Its publication coin- cides with the hundredth
anniversary of de Broglie's birth (1892), a very welcome
superposition, given the lasting influence of the Einstein-de
Broglie conception of wave-particle duality. The present book,
however, contains papers based on a broad spectrum of basic ideas,
some even opposite to those that Einstein and de Broglie would have
liked. The order of the contributions in this book is alphabetical
by first author's name. It is important here to stress the presence
of three reviews of fundamental experimental data, by Hasselbach
(electron interferometry), Rauch (neutron interferometry), and
Tonomura (Aharonov-Bohm effect). Hasselbach reviews several
interesting experiments performed in 1Ubingen with the electron
biprism interferometer. Wave-particle duality is brought out in
striking ways, e. g. , in the buildup of an interference pattern
out of single events. The Sagnac effect for electrons is also
discussed. The chapter by Rauch presents interesting results on
wave-particle duality for neutrons. Of particular interest are the
differences between stochastic and deterministic absorption in the
neutron interferometer, and the concrete evidence for the
quantum-mechanical 41T-symmetry of spinors. In the short chapter by
Tonomura, conclusive evidence for the reality of the Aharonov- Bohm
effect is reviewed, collected in experiments based on advanced
technologies of electron holography and microlithography.
