    "abstract": "We provide a self-contained quantum description of the interference produced\nby macromolecules diffracted by a grating, with particular reference to\nfullerene interferometry experiments. We analyze the processes inducing loss of\ncoherence consisting in beam preparation (collimation setup and thermal spread\nof the wavelengths of the macromolecules) and in environmental disturbances.\nThe results show a good agreement with experimental data published by\nZeilinger\u0027s group and highlight the analogy with optics. Our analysis gives\nsome hints for planning future experiments.",
