Abstract

We propose an operational definition of complementarity, pinning down the concept originally introduced by Bohr. Two properties of a system are considered complementary if they cannot be simultaneously well defined. We further show that, within quantum theory, this notion is equivalent to the incompatibility of operations - that is, their inability to be performed simultaneously.

Why This Paper Matters

  • It adds a 2025 reference point for readers tracking recent quantum research.
  • We propose an operational definition of complementarity, pinning down the concept originally introduced by Bohr.
