Quantum complimentarity, erasers and photons
Abstract
Optical experiments designed to explore quantum complementarity are reanalyzed. It is argued that, for each, a classical explanation is not only possible, but more coherent and less contrived. The final conclusion is that these experiments actually constitute support for criticism of the photon paradigm of electric charged particle interaction. They offer little or nothing to say about quantum complementarity once the photon concept is not imposed by mandate.
