    "abstract": "The momentum changes caused by position measurements are a central feature of\nwave-particle duality. Here we investigate two cases - localization by a single\nslit, and which-way detection in the double-slit interference experiment - and\nexamine in detail the associated momentum changes. Particular attention is\ngiven to the transfer of momentum between particle and detector, and the recoil\nof the measuring device. We find that single-slit diffraction relies on a form\nof `interaction-free\u0027 scattering, and that an ideal which-way measurement can\nbe made without any back-reaction on the detector.",
