Abstract

Although considered a niche technique, muon spectroscopy provides a unique and complementary insight into a range of different materials from hard condensed matter to biological samples and everything in between. In matter, the muon has a mass of 1/9 mp or 207 me, and is a local probe of quantum states that can provide a focus on the bulk properties of materials. While often interpreted in a classical framework, the muon is itself a quantum particle and it is increasingly common for researchers to take account of this when thinking about muon spectroscopy experiments. In this perspective, we focus on the power of using this quantum treatment of muon spectroscopy, which is a key future direction for the technique.
