Can Photon Splitting Explain Yesteryear's Experiments?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Photon splitting is a theoretical process where a single photon is divided into two or more photons, as predicted by quantum electrodynamics. While the resulting photons retain properties such as energy and polarization, they do not behave identically to the original photon post-splitting. The assertion that split photons act as if they remain together is misleading. Understanding photon splitting's implications requires examining specific historical experiments and consulting experts in quantum physics.

PREREQUISITES

will somebody smarter that me please tell me how this works.

okay, here goes.

experiments done in the yesteryear told us that if a photon was split (?) the two
parts would act as if they were still together.

is this correct?

this is the first part of my question. i'll get on to the rest if this is true.

Photon splitting is a theoretical process in which a single photon is split into two or more photons. This phenomenon has not been observed in experiments, but it is predicted by some theories, such as quantum electrodynamics. However, the statement that the two parts of a split photon would act as if they were still together is not entirely accurate.

In a photon splitting process, the resulting photons would have the same properties as the original photon, such as energy and polarization. This means that they would still be connected in a sense, but they would not behave exactly as they did before the splitting occurred.

Regarding the experiments done in the past, it is important to consider the specific details of each experiment and the theories used to explain the results. While photon splitting may offer a potential explanation for some experiments, it is not a universally accepted explanation and there may be other factors at play.

In order to fully understand how photon splitting works and its potential relevance to past experiments, it would be best to consult with a physicist or other expert in the field. They would be able to provide a more detailed and accurate explanation based on the specific experiments and theories in question.
