Three experiments are discussed in which nonlocal effects can be induced by changing the relative amplitudes of wave packets. Unlike previous experiments, in which nonlocal effects were induced by means of polarizers or phase shifters, in the proposed experiments nonlocal effects can be induced by means of variable beam splitters.
