    "abstract": "We show that atomic interference in the reflection from two suitably\npolarized evanescent waves is sensitive to retardation effects in the\natom-surface interaction for specific experimental parameters. We study the\nlimit of short and long atomic de Broglie wavelength. The former case is\nanalyzed in the semiclassical approximation (Landau-Zener model). The latter\nrepresents a quantum regime and is analyzed by solving numerically the\nassociated coupled Schroedinger equations. We consider a specific experimental\nscheme and show the results for rubidium (short wavelength) and the much\nlighter meta-stable helium atom (long wavelength). The merits of each case are\nthen discussed.",
