Phase space density measurement of interfering X-rays

We report a reconstruction of the phase space distribution of an X-ray beam after it has passed through a set of Young's slits. The resulting interference pattern has a quasi-probability distribution that has negative regions that do not have a classical interpretation. We experimentally recons...

Description
Summary:We report a reconstruction of the phase space distribution of an X-ray beam after it has passed through a set of Young's slits. The resulting interference pattern has a quasi-probability distribution that has negative regions that do not have a classical interpretation. We experimentally reconstruct and observe these negative parts of the phase space distribution.
