Waves and Particles in Light and Matter

Klappentext

Collects most, but not all, of the papers presented at the title workshop, held in Trani, Italy, September 1992, in celebration of the centenary of French physicist Louis de Broglie's birth. The focus of attention is on recent results concerned with the EPR paradox, matter-interferometry, reality of
