Consider the following statements regarding the one-atom experiment related to the Einstein-Bohr debate: Statement I: The experiment used a single trapped atom whose recoil was measured to determine which path a photon took, thereby testing the conflict between wave-particle duality and momentum uncertainty. Statement II: The experiment conclusively supported Einstein's original critique of quantum mechanics by showing that the photon's path could be precisely known while the interference pattern remained sharp, disproving Bohr's uncertainty principle. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
