Duality

The section on Englert-Greenberger duality is due to User:Drezet; thought I'd mention that here, since the edit history does not make clear that this was copied here from Afshar experiment. Thanks Drezet! linas 01:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have hived it off into its own page since complementarity is Bohr's creation and the later Englert-Greenberger duality is a much more focussed application of this. --Michael C. Price ^talk 14:53, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"simultaneously"?

Is the word "simultaneously" correct, in view of the Ashaf experiment? In that experiment an attempt is made to measure such properties of a single photon one after the other, which thus would not test a simultaneous measurement claim - but I wonder if that word belongs here. An exact citation of Bohr would be most beneficial. Harald88 10:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Heisenberg uncertainty relationship applies to the simulatneous measurement of position and momentum (or more generally of any two conjugate variables). Most physicists interpret complementarity as being enshrined in the HUP, but a more exact quote would be helpful. --Michael C. Price ^talk 18:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
