Abstract
Bohr's Complementarity Principle is a core concept of quantum mechanics. In this article, an updated complementarity relation for the wave and ondulatory aspects of a quantum system is presented and discussed. Two interferometric experiments are implemented in one and two qubit circuits and executed on real hardware. The final state density matrices are reconstructed using quantum state tomography and the complementarity relation is tested via direct computation. Results of the executions are presented both graphically and with a mean squared error analysis for a better comprehension.
