Teaching wave-particle complementarity using the Virtual Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

We propose the teaching of wave-particle duality mediated by a software called Virtual Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, developed by our research group. We introduce the Dirac’s formalism contextualized on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, constructing explicitly the operators that represent the action o...
