    Undergrad Quantum Mechanics is not a description of reality?

    Consider a cat in a box in a room. The box also contains some radioactive isotope. A geiger counter detects if the atom decays, and if it does, it sends a signal to some sort of computer, which causes a hammer to fall and smash open a bottle of poisonous gas. So, if the atom decays, the cat is...

    Graduate Do speed cameras use interferometers, and how do they work?

    If they work like I assume they do, by comparing the wavelength emitted with the wavelength reflected back, they might use an interferometer. If so, how does it work?

    High School Quantum Entanglement. Is spin conserved?

    I have two photons that are entangled and exist in all possible states simultaneously. By measuring photon A, I cause the superposition to collapse, and i can see that it has a certain spin (say left). This measurement also causes photon B's superposition to collapse, but will it be spinning...
