摘要

Abstract

Scientists have traditionally employed superimposed mutually-coherent electron beams for holography and phase retrieval of electron wavepackets. However

recent theoretical exploration delves into the interaction of superposed electron beams with the matter. This investigation aims to elucidate long-range Coulomb correlations and quantum decoherence phenomena when electrons interact with their environment.
