We theoretically investigate the wave–particle duality based on a Raman atom interferometer, via the interaction between the atom and Raman laser, which is similar to the optical Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The wave and which-way information are stored in the atomic internal states. For the φ − π − π /2 type of atom interferometer, we find that the visibility ( V ) and predictability ( P ) still satisfy the duality relation, P 2 + V 2 ≤ 1.
