Modeling the Quantum Bounces of Atomic Systems

Olivier Rousselle

We consider an atomic system (hydrogen) where we want to observe interference fringes. To do that, we use a small mirror in which the atoms will perform quantum bounces (due to the confinement between gravity and Casimir–Polder potential). We use Mathematica to implement quantum bounces. Such system can be generalized to other quantum systems (like antihydrogen/antimatter).
