year = 2004] The Afshar experiment is an optical experiment which may challenge the principle of complementarity in quantum mechanics, although there is as yet no consensus on this in physics. The result of the experiment appears to be in accordance with the standard predictions of quantum mechanics; however, it is claimed to violate the Englert-Greenberger duality relation. cite journal
