摘要: We predict the existence of antihydrogen atom long-living quasistationary states, localized near a curved material surface due to quantum reflection from van der Waals--Casimir potential. Such states are an atom-wave analog whispering-gallery (WG) modes, known in acoustics, optics, and neutron physics. argue that WG atoms could be regarded as close recently predicted gravitational where centrifugal potential plays role linear point out method for precision measurement anti-atom-matter interactions, based on study interference states.
