- Abstract: Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment delays the decision to observe either the
wave or particle behavior of a photon until after it has entered the
interferometer, and the quantum delayed-choice experiment provides the
possibility of observing the wave and particle behavior simultaneously by
introducing quantum control device. We here propose a modified quantum
delayed-choice experiment without quantum control or entanglement assistance,
in which a photon can be prepared in a wave-particle superposition state and
the morphing behavior of wave-to-particle transition can be observed easily. It
is demonstrated that the presented scheme can allow us to rule out classical
hidden variable models in a device-independent manner via violating dimension
witness. We also extend the scheme to the situation of two degrees of freedom,
first constructing a hybrid quantum delayed-choice experiment which enables
simultaneous observation of a photon's wave and particle behaviors in different
degrees of freedom, and then proposing a scheme to prepare the single-photon
wave-particle entanglement. This study is not only meaningful to explore the
wave and particle properties of photons, but also provides potential for the
research of the single-particle nonlocality from the perspective of the
wave-particle degree of freedom.

In our common sense, the wave and particle properties of a quantum object are inseparable.
In this study, we put forward a feasible scheme to spatially separate the wave and particle attributes of two entangled photons.
Our scheme also guarantees that the observation of wave and particle properties of the two entangled photons always obey the Bohr's complementarity principle.

Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment was conceived to illustrate the paradoxical nature of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics.
In the experiment, quantum light can exhibit either wave-like interference patterns or particle-like anti-correlations.
A variant known as the quantum eraser uses entangled light to recover the lost interference in a seemingly nonlocal and retrocausal manner.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
