Multiple empirical studies on quantum erasers and delayed-choice experiments confirm that observing wave- or particle-like behavior depends on measurement choices and erasure of path information, demonstrating foundational principles of complementarity.
Paper 0 confirms that quantum eraser experiments illustrate foundational aspects of wave-particle duality and complementarity by showing that path information can be erased via entangled measurements.

The analysis
The retrieved literature consistently discusses quantum eraser and delayed-choice experiments as primary demonstrations of Bohr's complementarity and wave-particle duality. All relevant papers support the claim, and none refute it.
Paper 1 explicitly highlights that wave-particle complementarity lies at the heart of quantum mechanics and uses delayed-choice frameworks to demonstrate how system behavior depends on erasing or marking which-path information.
Paper 3 notes that the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment demonstrates how complementarity can be enforced even after detection, elucidating its foundational nature.
Paper 5 implements Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment to test wave-particle duality, confirming standard quantum mechanical interpretations of complementarity.
