What Does Intarsia Say? Materiality and Spirituality in the Urbino Studiolo☆
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Upon entering the Urbino studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the visitor is struck by a material‐charged environment. Surprisingly, only a few scholars have addressed one prominent aspect of the decorative scheme, namely, the feature of intarsia as a medium. Even so, it remains on the sidelines of the discussion.

Full quantum mechanical analysis of atomic three-grating Mach-Zehnder interferometry
, 2015 Atomic three-grating Mach-Zehnder interferometry constitutes an important tool to probe fundamental aspects of the quantum theory. There is, however, a remarkable gap in the literature between the oversimplified models and robust numerical simulations ...

Coherence loss and revivals in atomic interferometry: A quantum-recoil analysis
, 2012 The coherence effects induced by external photons coupled to matter waves inside a Mach-Zehnder three-grating interferometer are analyzed. Alternatively to atom-photon entanglement scenarios, the model considered here only relies on the atomic wave ...
