Quantum duality: A source point of view
Xiao‐Feng Qian, G. S. Agarwal
Abstract
Two-path interference is the dominant scenario of studying and testing quantum duality. It is an equivalent process of regenerating a single quantum particle by a two-center source. The authors show that the intrinsic properties of such a two-center source unexpectedly controls the generated quantum particle's wave-particle duality coherence through a compact Pythagorean relation
