Three-path quantum Cheshire cat observed in neutron interferometry

Abstract Although our every-day experience rejects it, the quantum Cheshire Cat suggests a potential spatial separation between different properties of a single particle in an interferometer. The first experiment with neutrons confirmed the quantum Cheshire Cat effect by using the path and spin degr...
