Abstract

Neutron optics is a branch of both neutron physics and quantum physics that focuses on the study of the optical properties of slow neutrons and their dual behavior as both waves and particles. In previous research, we developed a mathematical framework based on Dirichlet boundary conditions to describe the propagation of slow neutrons in space. This approach facilitated the creation of an innovative algorithm distinguished by its computational efficiency and versatility. We applied this algorithm to the digital computation of hologram recording and reconstruction for wavelengths typical of thermal neutrons. The results demonstrate that the algorithm provides significant advantages, including rapid computation and broad applicability. It effectively handles scenarios analogous to those encountered in classical holography and shows promise for extension to other areas of physical interest.
