Nonspreading electron-beams that balance self-repulsion

By introducing concepts of beam shaping from nonlinear optics into quantum mechanics, we show how interference of electrons wavefunctions can exactly balance the nonlinear self-repulsion of an electron-beam, creating nonspreading shape-preserving propagation in free-space.
