where is the question? i think you misunderstood the article. the top-left and bottom-left pictures represent the same apparatus, as well as the top-right and bottom-right.

absolutely not, human death has nothing to do with superstate.

so the electron, before the detection, acts like a wave...i really can't get your point...

no difference at all :approve: actually, i identify the wave function with the electron itself...

let's distinguish: before detection, the electron is in a superposition, so its wave function is in different places simultaneously after detection, the wave function collapses so we no longer have a superposition and the electron acts like a classical particle. what i wanted to say in...

if your detector has a surface of detection, my coordinates are precisely "somewhere on that surface"

i mean that something should be there even before the detection, if not there is no reason to decect something in that place

well..something should be in the place in which you detect the electron..

there is a long discussion in this forum about photon refraction and reflection look at the thread "mach-zehnder interferometer experiment" or something like that

maybe you can read "QED - the strange theory of somethingIdon'tremember" by feynman

have you read the other replies? o.O

even using an highly energetic photon? (with "fluctuations" you mean the uncertainty due to Heisenberg priciple?)

yes but again, maybe i can't figure out to which mirror the mometum went, but the electrons of the mirror know if their momentum is changed or not. are the electrons of the mirror in a superposition too?

another question: the wave function of the photon takes, in the same time, both paths, right? let's consider path number 1: the photon (or its wave function) transfers, for example, 3/4 of its momentum to the mirror. let's now consider path number 2: the photon transfers 3/4 of its momentum to...

ya i didn't know how to say :) i hope the meaning is clear anyway thank you very much...i'll shurely read the article :)
