Modified Afshar Experiment: Calculations

Quantum Physics 2015-05-13 v2

Abstract

The Afshar experiment is a relatively simple two-slit experiment with results that appear to show a discrepancy with the predictions of Bohr's Principle of Complementarity. We report on the results of a calculation using a simpler but equivalent set-up called the modified Afshar experiment. Numerical results are in agreement with the experimental results performed on the Afshar experiment set-up. Calculations show that the level of which-way information and visibility in the Afshar experiement is higher than originally estimated.
