In the delayed choice quantum eraser such as one described in the Kim paper...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraserWe have five detectors D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5

The signal photon strikes the detector D0.

Please note this discussion is more focussed on the idler and not the signal photon.

The idler strikes one of four remaining detectors (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5) each time it goes through the apparatus/experiment.

Can we get the interference pattern of the idler at each of the four detectors?

What would the pattern look like? (after removing "noise" via pairing of each idler with signal via the co incidence counter)

Why not? I might have missed some part of the experiment, that I don't understand.
