We show that single and multislit experiments involving matter waves may be
constructed to assess correlations between the position and momentum of a
single free particle. These correlations give rise to position dependent phases
which develop dynamically and may play an important role in the interference
patterns. For large enough transverse coherence lenght such interference
patterns are noticeably different from those of a classical dispersion free
wave.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, revised manuscrip
