(Acad. Press, New York, 1987) Vol. 69, p.55-113. - Comment: This review summarizes how the laser modulation of electron waves was observed at molecular scattering in the same way as in solids. About the criticisms on the demodulation (Peshkin, Lipkin and others) about which Schwarz was confused, a discussion at the Technoin in Haifa in 1984 indicated the opposition to the criticisms by Prof. Nathan Rosen (Einstein-Podolski-Rosen) which question was finalized later as an example of Zeilinger’s non-locality.
