It\nconsists of wave localization near a curved reflecting surface and is\nexpected for wa ves of various natures\, for instance\, for atoms and\nneutrons. For matte r waves\, it would include a new feature: a massive\nparticle would be set tled in quantum states\, with parameters depending\non its mass. In 2010\, we observed the quantum whispering gallery\neffect for cold neutrons and since then continue increasing the\nprecision in these experiments.\n DTSTAMP:20250521T112706Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
