We reply to the comment by Sanz and Borondo [ Phys. Rev. A 77 057601 (2008)] on our paper [ Tumulka et al. Phys. Rev. A 75 055602 (2007)] concerning the double-slit diffraction experiment with neutrons published in Zeilinger et al. [ Rev. Mod. Phys. 60 1067 (1988)]. We argue in particular that Sanz and Borondo’s new arguments for the presence of significant decoherence in that experiment are unconvincing.
