Abstract

The features of preselected and postselected quantum shutters were discussed. It was found that a quantum shutter, preselected and postselected in a particular quantum states, closes simultaneously arbitrary number of slits, preventing the passage of a single photon in an arbitrary state. The analysis showed that a set of K preselected and postselected shutters closes the slits preventing the passage of K or less photons.
