Complementarity and Afshar's experiment

Aurélien Drezet

In this article we criticize the experiment realized by S. Afshar [Proc. SPIE 5866, 229-244 (July 2005)]. We analyze Bohr's complementarity and show that the interpretation proposed by Afshar is misleading.

Complementarity and the Afshar Experiment

Tabish Qureshi

A modified two-slit interference experiment, proposed and carried out by Shahriar Afshar [first reported by M. Chown, New Scientist {\\bf 183}, 30 (2004)], claims to demonstrate a violation of Bohr's complementarity principle. We point out the flaw in Afshar's analysis and show why complementarity is robust and cannot be violated in any experiment which is a variant of the conventional two-slit experiment.
