Abstract

Advances in material science and engineering make it possible to access artificial materials or ‘metamaterial’ properties and structures on the length scale comparable to the wavelength of ultracold neutrons ~ 100 nm. Strong neutron scattering effects such as Anderson localization, resonance scattering may be studied in the laboratory according to our recent theoretical studies. UCN interferometry and high-resolution spectroscopy (sub-pico-electronvolt resolution) in neutronic metamaterials are examples of new experimental possibilities that can probe quantum gravitational states of neutrons, and quantum sensing based on ultracold neutrons.
