A Case of Quantum Scattering

Abstract
We analyze the results of an experimental setup that consist of two statistically independent laser beams that cross, interfere and end at detectors. At the beam intersection we place a thin wire at the center of a dark interference fringe and analyze the complementarity inequality. We find that the complementarity inequality is fulfilled provided we include a scattering interaction. We find that this interaction is implicit in the formalism of quantum theory; however, this interaction is active only when the conservation laws are satisfied.
