Abstract:
We demonstrate that the preparation of a very well localized atom beamis possible without physical interaction. The preparation is based on theselection of an adequate ensemble of atoms of an originally wide beamby means of information obtained with a neutron interferometer.In such a case the uncertaintyrelation can no longer be interpreted as a by-product of the interactionbetween the system and the preparation apparatus.
