Abstract
We show that the first experiment with double-slits and twin photons detect ed in coincidence can be understood as a quantum eraser. The 'which path' i nformation is erased by transverse indistinguishability obtained by means o f mode filtering in the twin conjugated beam. A delayed choice quantum eras er based on the same scheme is proposed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
