    "abstract": "The interaction between particles and the electromagnetic field induces\ndecoherence generating a small suppression of fringes in an interference\nexperiment. We show that if a double slit--like experiment is performed in the\nvicinity of a conducting plane, the fringe visibility depends on the position\n(and orientation) of the experiment relative to the conductor\u0027s plane. This\nphenomenon is due to the change in the structure of vacuum induced by the\nconductor and is closely related to the Casimir effect. We estimate the fringe\nvisibility both for charged and for neutral particles with a permanent dipole\nmoment. The presence of the conductor may tend to increase decoherence in some\ncases and to reduce it in others. A simple explanation for this peculiar\nbehavior is presented.",
