Physical reality and the Complementarity Principle
R. Srikanth
abstract: Consideration of the von Neumann measurement process underlying interference
experiments shows that the uncertainty in the incoming wave, responsible for
its interference, translates during measurement into an uncertainty at the
measuring apparatus. However, subsequent measurement on the apparatus does not
reveal any new information about the interfering wave. This observation, in the
context of recent advances in quantum information, suggests an argument for an
information theoretic interpretation of quantum mechanics.
