Analysis of a high-stability Stern–Gerlach spatial fringe interferometer

The discovery of the Stern–Gerlach (SG) effect almost a century ago was followed by suggestions to use the effect as a basis for matter-wave interferometry. However, the coherence of splitting particles with spin by a magnetic gradient to a distance exceeding the position uncertainty in each of the...
