Quantum eraser experiment



In physics, the quantum eraser experiment is a double-slit experiment that demonstrates several laws of Quantum Mechanics, including wave-particle duality which seeks to explain certain wave and particle properties of matter, complementarity and the Copenhagen interpretation which outline the idea that, in QM, to gain an accurate measurement of one aspect of certain experimental subjects is to lose precision in its counterpart (much like attempting to view both sides of a coin at once). The experiment also utilizes a special crystal for its ability to produce photon pairs from a single photon and the use of an interferometer to explore the wave-like nature of an object.
