Decoherence modes in neutron interferometry

Abstract

We give a short introduction to the topics of decoherence, neutron interferometry and entanglement for single neutrons. We introduce two theoretical modes of decoherence for an entangled two qubit system via special Lindblad generators for the quantum master equation. The experimental realization of the decoherence modes is achieved within neutron interferometry where the decoherence is modeled by fluctuating magnetic fields in the interferometer.
