Complementarity as corollary    [PDF]

R. M. Angelo, A. D. Ribeiro
Recently, Bohr's complementarity principle was assessed both theoretically and experimentally in setups involving delayed choices. These works argued in favor of a reformulation of the aforementioned principle so as to account for situations in which quantum systems would behave simultaneously as wave and particle. Here we defend a framework that, supported by well-known experimental results and consistent with the decoherence program, allows us to interpret complementarity in terms of correlations of the system with an informer. Our proposal offers an operational interpretation for the wavelike behavior both in terms of nonlocal resources and the couple work-information. Moreover, our results invite us to reconsider the current status of the complementarity principle.
