| Jan 16, 2019 at 18:04 | comment | added | Mark | Hmmm... I feel you might be right but I'm still not getting it. Say the incoming light front has vertical polarization. In front of the detector screen one places a filter for horizontal polarization. So no photon coming from the slit with light having vertical pol. can get through while if you see a photon getting through it can be only that coming from the slit with the QWP. So, this allows for which-way tracking.... not? | |

| Jan 16, 2019 at 14:26 | comment | added | Ruslan | How do you recover which-way information? The circularly polarized and linearly polarized states are not orthogonal, so you can't know exactly which way each photon went. And the pattern on screen will be a blurred double-slit pattern (a mixture of double- and single-slit patterns), since circular polarization can be thought of as a superposition of two orthogonal linear polarizations. | |
