The delayed-choice experiment concept began as a series of thought experiments in quantum physics, first proposed by Wheeler in 1978. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] According to the complementarity principle , the 'particle-like' (having exact location) or 'wave-like' (having frequency or amplitude) properties of a photon can be measured, but not both at the ...
A delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment, first performed by Yoon-Ho Kim, R. Yu, S. P. Kulik, Y. H. Shih and Marlan O. Scully, [1] and reported in early 1998, is an elaboration on the quantum eraser experiment that incorporates concepts considered in John Archibald Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment.
The quantum eraser experiment was proposed in 1982 in Marlan Scully and Kai Drühl in the paper Quantum eraser: A proposed photon correlation experiment concerning observation and "delayed choice" in quantum mechanics, as a realizable way to test the hitherto untested predictions of quantum mechanics.
Looking back on Wheeler's 10 years at Texas, many quantum information scientists now regard him, along with IBM's Rolf Landauer, as a grandfather of their field. That, however, was not because Wheeler produced seminal research papers on quantum information. He did not—with one major exception, his delayed-choice experiment.
English: Wheeler has several kinds of delayed-choice quantum eraser experiments. This schematic diagram shows arrangements for his modified double-slit experiment. See Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory, edited by A.R. Marlow, p. 11ff.
The first experiment that strived to respect this condition was Aspect's 1982 experiment. [15] In it the settings were changed fast enough, but deterministically. The first experiment to change the settings randomly, with the choices made by a quantum random number generator, was Weihs et al.'s 1998 experiment. [18]
Suppose the world is super-deterministic, with not just inanimate nature running on behind-the-scenes clockwork, but with our behavior, including our belief that we are free to choose to do one experiment rather than another, absolutely predetermined, including the "decision" by the experimenter to carry out one set of measurements rather than ...
