Dynamics and detection of the Newton-Wigner time delays at interfaces using a swivelling method

Abstract Evanescent waves are ubiquitous at interfaces with optical, seismic or acoustic waves, and also with electron, neutron or atom beams. Newton was the first to suspect that both small time delays and spatial shifts exist during total internal reflection. However, these effects are so tiny tha...
