摘要：

Different neutron-interferometric setups for the joint detection of path and interference are investigated from the point of view of the theory of joint measurement. It is seen that this joint detection can only be done with limited quality. This substantiates Bohrs insistence that the impossibility of jointly seeing interference and path is a consequence of the uncertainty principle. A connection between joint measurement and Wigner distributions is noted. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
