Like.
I think you are. See below. You don't need to explain how to apply the collapse postulate. What you need to explain is why you even... -

From what I can see, the literature is still not clear on this point--we have some references saying one thing, and some references...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.An intermediate inferred mathematical description doesn't exist for photons 1 & 2 (or 3 & 4). Only the initial and final states. That...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.What I say is remote in spacetime: The decision by Victor to swap (BSM) or not (SSM), which affects correlation seen by Alice and Bob...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.In our ongoing example of a 4 photon entanglement swap (BSM on photons 2 & 3), per experiments like Kaltenbaek et al, it has been...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.1. Still makes no sense in our context. There is no such thing as saying a system of unentangled particles (photons 2 & 3) being in a...

Not quite. The standard definition of an entangled state is a state that cannot be expressed as a product of states of subsystems. Huh...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.1. Sorry, Zwiebach's writing notwithstanding, I reject this as a suitable reference. You must present something better. There should...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.Again, I have provided multiple authoritative citations saying precisely the opposite. See Megidish figure 3 where indistinguishable vs...

@DrChinese As I have derailed this thread enough, I will start a new thread in the next couple of days to continue the discussion...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.Agreed, this is not a teleportation protocol. Because this is not teleportation, it is swapping. There are plenty of early swapping...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.There is no such thing in any entanglement experiment anywhere, and no derivation as you claim other than what you make up. The Bell...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.And again I point out: This is done for both BSM and SSM. No difference whatsoever. You stopped reading too soon. The rotations are...
-
DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.1. Apologies, I didn't intend to imply that Bohmian mechanics fails due to a Mjelva-like flaw. I am not strong enough in my...

DrChinese replied to the thread I Does Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How does the Quantum World Say “Maybe”?.Read it again. Nothing like that happens in Megidish. I quoted the relevant text. How about you quote something from the paper that...
