@article{Walborn2001DoubleslitQE, title={Double-slit quantum eraser}, author={Stephen Patrick Walborn and Marcelo O. Terra Cunha and S. P{\'a}dua and Carlos H. Monken}, journal={Physical Review A}, year={2001}, volume={65}, pages={033818} }
We report a quantum eraser experiment which actually uses a Young double slit to create interference. The experiment can be considered an optical analogy of an experiment proposed by Scully, Englert, and Walther [Nature (London) 351, 111 (1991)]. One photon of an entangled pair is incident on a Young double slit of appropriate dimensions to create an interference pattern in a distant detection region. Quarter-wave plates, oriented so that their fast axes are orthogonal, are placed in front of…
