Hi.
In an Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester, will the guiding wave be different in a situation with a live bomb compared to one with only a dud? And if yes, how does the bomb interact with the guiding wave? Because usually it is described as a pointlike device that only explodes when hit by the photon and doesn't have a potential that could enter the Schrödinger equation for the guiding wave ##\psi##.
