Detection of incompatible properties

Abstract

In a typical two-slits experiments we face the question whether it is possible or not to attain knowledge about properties incompatible with Which-Slit property together with the measurement of the final impact point. A wide family of solutions is concretely found and an ideal experiment realizing such a detection is designed, relatively to the detection of three such incompatible properties. In the case of four incompatible properties, general conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out and a particular family of solutions is provided.

The famous two-slits experiment is used to theoretically introduce the problem of detecting both which-slit (WS) property and another quantum property incompatible with the WS one, together with the measurement of the (complementary) position of the final impact point. General conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out, and a family of solutions is concretely found. Moreover, we theoretically design an ideal experiment which realizes this non-trivial detection.

In this work we theoretically show that in a double‐slit experiment it is possible the simultaneous detection of properties incompatible with which‐slit property and with each other, together with the measurement of the position of the final impact point. General conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out and families of solutions are provided.

Detection of incompatible properties without erasure

Nisticó, Giuseppe

In this work we show that in double-slit experiment properties incompatible with Which Slit property can be detected without erasing the knowledge of which slit each particle passes through and without affecting the point of impact on the final screen. A systematic procedure to find these particular properties is provided. A thought experiment which realizes this detection is proposed.

We exploit the notion of which-slit detector introduced by Englert, Scully and Walther (ESW), to show that two incompatible properties can be detected together for each particle hitting the screen, without disturbing the centerof-mass motion of the particle.
