DOI: 10.1007/s10701-020-00379-9
Abstract: The assertion that an experiment by Afshar et al. demonstrates violation of Bohr’s Principle of Complementarity is based on the faulty assumption that which-way information in a double-slit interference experiment can be retroactively determined from… read more here.

Reconsidering the Relation Between “Matter Wave Interference” and “Wave–Particle Duality”
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Foundations of Physics"
DOI: 10.1007/s10701-022-00544-2
Abstract: Interference of more and more massive objects provides a spectacular confirmation of quantum theory. It is usually regarded as support for “wave–particle duality” and in an extension of this duality even as support for “complementarity”.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10838-021-09564-4
Abstract: A prominent way through which wave-particle duality has been ascribed to photons is by illustrating their “wave-like” behaviour in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer and “particle-like” behaviour in the anti-correlation experiment. This duality has been formulated in… read more here.

A generalized wave-particle duality relation for finite groups

DOI: 10.1088/1751-8121/aabb21
Abstract: Wave-particle duality relations express the fact that knowledge about the path a particle took suppresses information about its wave-like properties, in particular, its ability to generate an interference pattern. Recently, duality relations in which the… read more here.

Abstract: We present an architecture to investigate wave-particle duality in $N$-path interferometers on a universal quantum computer involving as low as $2{log}_{2}N$ qubits and develop a measurement scheme that allows the efficient extraction of quantifiers of… read more here.

Duality Games and Operational Duality Relations.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.120.050402
Abstract: We give operational meaning to wave-particle duality in terms of discrimination games. Duality arises as a constraint on the probability of winning these games. The games are played with the aid of an n-port interferometer,… read more here.

Abstract: We formulate a quantitative theory of wave-particle duality for many-body quantum states, and derive complementarity relations for the wave and particle character of many identical possibly interacting bosons or fermions equipped with a tunable level… read more here.

Abstract: The quantification of wave-particle duality (WPD) by means of measurable features associated to it, such as fringe visibility ($\mathcal {V}$) and path distinguishability ($\mathcal {D}$), led to the establishment of the constraint $\mathcal {V}^{2}+\mathcal {D}^{2}… read more here.
