Simulates phase shift of particles (due to various effects) moving through a 3-grating interferometer.

For installation and usage instructions, refer to the INSTALL file. A summary of changes can be found in CHANGELOG.md.

The current coding conventions are contained in CONTRIBUTING.md. For a list of contributors, see section "Authors" below and the CREDITS file.

Effects Accounted For:

• Gravity

• VanDerWaals effect

Authors:

• Dr. Ben McMorran, Assistant Professor, University of Oregon

• Adam Denchfield, IIT IPRO student, fall 2015

• Melanie Cornelius (nee Dooley), IIT IPRO and research student, fall 2014 through present

How to Commit:

• Place all source files in the source/ dir

• In general, keep functions pertaining to different effects in different files

• Name variables descriptively. If a variable pertains to a common physics term or symbol, place that symbol in a nearby comment

• Comment functions explaining the math in use

• Add any new effect into this README

General Git Etiquette:

• DO NOT commit executables (.out files by default)

• DO NOT make dated folders in any directory except output/

• In general, avoid committing output files - the output directory is a compromise between programming convention and needs of professors and students in class. Remember - you can always store your outputs in the Google Drive or on iGroups.

• That said, DO NOT commit output files unless:

  • You have a good reason to track the output (IE, showing new functionality)

  • You have placed the output in a dated directory within the output/ dir
