  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, depending upon the (possibly delayed) choice
of the experimenter. A variant known as the quantum eraser uses entangled light
to recover the lost interference in a seemingly nonlocal and retrocausal
manner. Although it is believed that this behavior is incompatible with
classical physics, here we show that the observed quantum phenomena can be
reproduced by adopting a simple deterministic detector model and supposing the
existence of a random zero-point electromagnetic field.
