Wave-particle duality is one of the most notable and counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics, illustrating that two incompatible observables cannot be measured simultaneously with arbitrary precision. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the equivalence of wave-particle duality and entropic uncertainty relations using orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light. Our experiment uses an innovative and reconfigurable platform composed of few-mode optical fibers and photonic lanterns, showcasing the versatility of this technology for quantum information processing. Our results provide fundamental insights into the complementarity principle from an informational perspective, with implications for the broader field of quantum technologies.
波粒二象性是量子力学最显著且最违反直觉的特征之一,它表明两个不相容的可观测量不能以任意精度同时测量。在这项工作中,我们利用光的轨道角动量(OAM)态通过实验证明了波粒二象性与熵不确定性关系的等价性。我们的实验使用了一个由少模光纤和光子灯笼组成的创新且可重构的平台,展示了该技术在量子信息处理方面的多功能性。我们的结果从信息角度为互补原理提供了基本见解,对更广泛的量子技术领域具有启示意义。
