Abstract :
In this paper, we present an experiment which extends Wheelers Gedankenexperiment in two ways. First, complementarity is valid not only in the single photon experiment, but also in the two photon experiment; Second, independent of the space-time arrangement between the photon entry of the interferometer and the setting of the last beam-splitter complementarity is valid.
