Double slit Double slit experiment Experiment Measurement Slit

In summary: The summary of the content is that it is clear from some more advanced variations on the double slit experiment that retaining or destroying "information" on one half of an entangled pair affects the result of the other. The results tend to either be wave or particle type behavior on a detection device. Including the measuring apparatus is essential for obtaining accurate results.

The diagram is Figure 19 of Woods and Spekkens http://arxiv.org/abs/1208.4119.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this paper.
