double slit experiment with two opposite quarter waveplates
Now place in front of the left slit a quarter waveplate (let's call it QWP1) that changes a certain linear polarization (say, in the horizontal direction) into counterclockwise circular polarization. … , and the vertical polarization into counterclockwise circular polarization. …
