Complementarity (physics): History, Mathematical formalism & Modern role

In physics, complementarity is a conceptual aspect of quantum mechanics that Niels Bohr regarded as an essential feature of the theory. The complementarity principle holds that certain pairs of complementary properties cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously. For example, position and momentum, frequency and lifetime, or optical phase and…
