Goos-Hänchen-Like Shifts in Atom Optics
Jianhua Huang, Zhenglu Duan, Hong Y. Ling +1
We consider the propagation of a matter wavepacket of two-level atoms through a square potential created by a super-Gaussian laser beam. We explore the matter wave analog of Goos-H…
Paradox in Wave-Particle Duality
Shahriar S. Afshar, Eduardo Flores, Keith F. McDonald +1
We report on the simultaneous determination of complementary wave and particle aspects of light in a double-slit type "welcher-weg" experiment beyond the limitations set by Bohr's…
Violation of Bohr's Complementarity: One Slit or Both?
Shahriar S. Afshar
We have implemented a novel double-slit "which-way" experiment which raises interesting questions of interpretation. Coherent laser light is passed through a converging lens and th…
Violation of the principle of Complementarity, and its implications
Shahriar S. Afshar
Bohr's principle of complementarity predicts that in a welcher weg ("which-way") experiment, obtaining fully visible interference pattern should lead to the destruction of the path…
