    "abstract": "A recent experiment performed by S. Afshar [first reported by M. Chown, New\nScientist {\\bf 183}, 30 (2004)] is analyzed. It was claimed that this\nexperiment could be interpreted as a demonstration of a violation of the\nprinciple of complementarity in quantum mechanics. Instead, it is shown here\nthat it can be understood in terms of classical wave optics and the standard\ninterpretation of quantum mechanics. Its performance is quantified and it is\nconcluded that the experiment is suboptimal in the sense that it does not fully\nexhaust the limits imposed by quantum mechanics.",
