Description
The qBounce experiment will be presented: ultracold neutrons fall in the gravity potential of the earth and are re ected from a mirror. As a bound quantum system, the neutrons have discrete energy eigenstates and are found in a coherent superposition of particular levels. The lowest discrete states are in the range of several pico-eVs. This opens the way to probe theories of gravitational interaction and dark energy.
