This simulator implements the Wheeler's Delayed Choice Experiment in an ideal Interferometer of Mach-Zehnder type, as desccribed by John Archibald Wheeler and Wojciech Hubert Zurek, Editors in "Quantum Theory and Measurement" , Princeton Series in Physics, (1984).
The simulator shows the basic fundamental ideas of the Quantum Mechanics:
Wave-Particle nature of Photon Probabilistic interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Superposition of Quantum States in Beam Splitting Interference of states in One Photon experiments The striking difference between Photons and Classical particles, i.e. between Quantum Mechanics and Classical Common Sense intuitions
The simulator has a wide target range, from High School to Physics Undergraduate students.
WheelerDelayedExperiment.pdf is a PDF file with the QM Background and the simulator use.
WheelerDelayed_1.mp4 is a video tutorial and User Guide.
