Comment on 'Quantum phase shift caused by spatial confinement' by B. E. Allman et al

Description

The analysis of phase shifts in executed and proposed interferometry experiments on photons and neutrons neglected forces exerted at the boundaries of spatial constrictions. When those forces are included it is seen that the observed phenomena are not in fact geometric in nature. A new proposal in the reply to this comment avoids that pitfall
