    "abstract": "Quantitative measures are introduced for the indistinguishability $U$ of two\nquantum states in a given measurement and the amount of interference $I$\nobservable in this measurement. It is shown that these measures obey an\ninequality $U\\geq I$ which can be seen as an exact formulation of Bohr\u0027s claim\nthat one cannot distinguish between two possible paths of a particle while\nmaintaining an interference phenomenon. This formulation is applied to a\nneutron interferometer experiment of Badurek e.a. It is shown that the\nformulation is stronger than an argument based on an uncertainty relation for\nphase and photon number considered by these authors.",
