Complementarity and Afshar's experiment

Published Aug 11, 2005• 10 citations

Abstract

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.

Paradox or non-paradox in wave-particle duality

Aurélien Drezet

We analyze the experiment recently realized by S. Afshar et al. [1] in order to refute the principle of complementarity. We discuss the general meaning of this principle and show that contrarily to the claim of the authors Bohr's complementarity is not in danger in this experiment.

BOHR'S COMPLEMENTARITY AND AFSHAR'S EXPERIMENT: NON-DUALISTIC STUDY AT THE SINGLE-QUANTUM LEVEL

C Ravi Kumar, Nakka Gurappa

Using a newly proposed `wave-particle non-dualistic interpretation' of the quantum formalism, Bohr's principle of complementarity is analyzed in the context of the single-slit diffraction and the Afshar's experiments - at the single-quantum level. The fundamental flaw in the Afshar's argument is explicitly pointed out.
