TL;DR
This paper investigates quantum scattering by analyzing an experiment with crossing laser beams and a wire, demonstrating that complementarity is upheld when scattering interactions consistent with conservation laws are considered.
Contribution
It reveals that scattering interactions, essential for complementarity, are implicit in quantum formalism and active only under conservation law conditions.
Findings
Complementarity inequality is fulfilled with scattering interactions.
Scattering interactions are implicit in quantum theory formalism.
Interactions are active only when conservation laws are satisfied.
Abstract
We analyze the results of an experimental setup that consist of two statistically independent laser beams that cross, interfere and end at detectors. At the beam intersection we place a thin wire at the center of a dark interference fringe and analyze the complementarity inequality. We find that the complementarity inequality is fulfilled provided we include a scattering interaction. We find that this interaction is implicit in the formalism of quantum theory; however, this interaction is active only when the conservation laws are satisfied.
