摘要:

The concept of wave-particle duality holds significant importance in the field of quantum mechanics, as it
elucidates the dual nature encompassing both wavelike and particlelike properties exhibited by microscopic particles.
In this paper, we construct generalized measures for the predictability and visibility of n-path interference
fringes to quantify the wave and particle properties in quantum high-dimensional systems. By employing the
Morozova-Chentsov function, we ascertain that the wave-particle relationship can be delineated by the average
coherence. This function exhibits a close correlation with the metric-adjusted skew information, thereby we
establish complementary relations between visibility, predictability, and quantum f entropy, which reveal deep
connections between wave-particle duality and other physical quantities. Through our methodology, diverse
functions can be selected to yield corresponding complementary relationships.
