No Paradox in Wave–Particle Duality
Foundations of Physics 50 (11):1723-1727 (2020)
Abstract
The assertion that an experiment by Afshar et al. demonstrates violation of Bohr’s Principle of Complementarity is based on the faulty assumption that which-way information in a double-slit interference experiment can be retroactively determined from a future measurement.Author's Profile
