Phys. Rev. A 69, 022112 (2004) [5 pages]Quantitative complementarity in two-path interferometry
A. Bramon1, G. Garbarino2, and B. C. Hiesmayr1 Received 12 August 2003; published 23 February 2004 The quantitative formulation of Bohr’s complementarity proposed by Greenberger and Yasin is applied to some physical situations for which analytical expressions are available. This includes a variety of conventional double-slit experiments, but also particle oscillations, as in the case of the neutral-kaon system, and Mott scattering of identical nuclei. For all these cases, a unified description can be achieved including a new parameter ν, which quantifies the effective number of fringes one can observe in each specific interferometric setup. ©2004 The American Physical Society
