Wheeler's delayed-choice thought experiment: Experimental realization and theoretical analysis

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Wheeler has strikingly illustrated the wave-particle duality by the delayed-choice thought experiment, in which the configuration of a 2-path interferometer is chosen after a single-photon light-pulsed has entered it. We present a quantitative theoretical analysis of an experimental realization of Wheeler's proposal.
