Compactification, T-Duality and Quantum Erasers

Using T-duality, we will argue that a zero point length exists in the low energy effective field theory of string theory on compactified extra dimensions. Furthermore, if we neglect the oscillator modes, this zero point length would modify low quantum mechanical systems. As this zero length is fixed geometrically, it is important to analyze how it modifies purely quantum mechanical effects. Thus, we will analyze its effects on quantum erasers, because they are based on quantum effects like entanglement. It will be observed that the behavior of these quantum erasers gets modified by this zero point length. As the zero point length is fixed by the radius of compactification, we argue that these results demonstrate a deeper connection between geometry and quantum effects.
