Abstract

The quantum eraser is a variation of the celebrated Young's interference experiment that can be used to demonstrate the elusive complementarity principle in quantum physics. Here we show the construction of its classical analogue for deployment in classrooms in a simple, cost-effective yet robust manner by employing a laser pointer, double-slits, and polarizers.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 4 supplementary information pages
