Photons in a two-path interferometer best embody wave-particle duality (WPD), which is a core concept of quantum theory. So far, the WPD relation is commonly written as $V^2+D^2 \leq 1$, where $V$ is the interference fringe visibility and…
Bohr's principle of complementarity lies at the central place of quantum mechanics, according to which the light is chosen to behave as a wave or particles, depending on some exclusive detecting devices. Later, intermediate cases are found,…
