1. It's literally the definition of cherry picking. Read and quote Ma's entire paragraph. Or Megidish. 2. I am quite comfortable with...

From @Demystifier: Furthermore, at the macroscopic level we also have a time arrow, due to which the past causes the future, so the...

Great stuff, Demystifier. I will have a series of questions as I digest this. :smile: A question off the top of my head. : How...

No, actually, Ma explicitly says this - and not just your cherry-picked sentence: ... (1) "...As schematically shown in Fig. 1, if...

Whoa there Nelly! I said "|Ψ〉14⨂|Ψ〉23 * features entanglement between 2 and 3 subsequent to their interaction at a common BS." You...

What is the initial connection between 2 and 3? None, as I believe you have previously agreed. The reason I am discussing it is...

And for the zillionth time: You keeping ignoring the crucial point, in the literal words of Ma: State (1) -> Swap -> State (2) Ma: "As...

Agreed. That means: |R1> = (V1> (|H17>+|V17>)(|H33>+|V33>)) + (H1> (|H17>+|V17>)(|H33>+|V33>)) I.e. Some photon 1 in a right-circular...

What Ma actually says is (2) is arrived at by "rewriting Eq. (1) in the basis of Bell states of photons 2 and 3" (Ma's exact words)...

I've found an intuitive pictorial way to answer one of the @DrChinese 's central questions: How to describe the timeline of the full...

1. Consider for now that I have no objection to the derivation. I might later, but that's a separate issue and relates to an earlier...

In the opinion of several of you, Ma's (1) is mathematically equivalent ("the same") to their (2). I don't have a particular objection...

Hmmm, I'm confused. It is deva vu. What part of my basic message "read Ma's whole paragraph rather than just a cherry-picked...

To explicitly model* the measurement of 2 and 3 first, we would include the apparatus degrees of freedom and trace over them...

Thanks for saying this. Yes, I get a bit caught up in these discussions. I really don't mind the back and forth, somehow I always gain...
