Double-slit experiment
Delayed Choice Experiment
Proposed by John Archibald Wheeler in 1978
The method of detection in this experiment can be changed after the
photon passes the double slit so it is possible to delay the choice of whether to detect the path of the particle or detect its interference with itself

Double-slit experiment
Delayed Choice Experiment
Proposed by John Archibald Wheeler in 1978
The method of detection in this experiment can be changed after the
photon passes the double slit so it is possible to delay the choice of whether to detect the path of the particle or detect its interference with itself
