SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of reflecting an electron wave at an angle while preserving its coherency. A referenced paper, available at http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/16241/1/paper_16.pdf, does not specifically address the coherent reflection of electron waves at angles. Participants are seeking insights or research that directly tackles this complex quantum mechanics topic.

Is it possible to reflect an electron wave at an angle while maintaining coherency throughout the process? I found this but I don't think it talks about coherently reflecting *at an angle*: http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/16241/1/paper_16.pdf

Thank you!
