Outline
R. Feynman:“The double slit
contains the only mystery.”
“If there is any place where we have a chance to test the main principles of
quantum mechanics in the purest way---does the superposition of amplitudes
work or doesn't it?---this is it.”
R. Feynman about neutral kaons:

Interference lost because photon watched (gain which way info)!
Erasing the which way info brings interference back!No wonder Einstein would be confused!

ComplementarityComplementarity
The observation of an interference pattern and the adquisition of which-way information are mutually exclusive.
Quantum systems possess properties that are equally real but mutually exclusive!

Summary of “kaonic” eraser
• remarkably all these QE options lead to the same probabilities!•this is even true regardless the temporal ordering•demonstrates nicely the very nature of QE: sorting events
Up to our opinion: It should be possible to test it at DANE!

Questions to the experimenters:
•Are active measurements possible?•Which initial entangled states can be produced (besides the antisymmetric Bell state)?•Can the CP state |K1> be somehow measured? •Or can another superposition be measured?•Can the long lived state |KL> be “boosted”?
