Inequalities for complementarity in observed statistics

Quantum Physics 2022-01-12 v2

Abstract

We provide an analysis of complementarity via a suitably designed classicalmodel that leads to a set of inequalities that can be tested by means ofunsharp measurements. We show that, if the measured statistics does notfulfill the inequalities it is equivalent to the lack of a joint distribution for theincompatible observables. This is illustrated by path-interference duality ina Young interferometer.
