If you believe |Ψ〉1234 = |Ψ−〉12⨂|Ψ−〉34 leads to (2) when no BSM has yet occurred, then by extension: |Ψ〉12345678 =...

Could you explain, for my understanding, how your degree of freedom count goes? What are you counting as a degree of freedom and what do...

Don't need to. If a) is true, by your logic b) and c) are equally true. Before the BSM, nothing has happened! Sorry if you can't see...

Sure. i) For a Spin 1/2 particle, say an electron, we have: spin-x, spin-y, and spin z. All 3 are independent degrees of freedom...

Trying answering a direct question for once instead of turning it around. a) |Ψ〉1234 = 12(|Ψ+〉14⨂|Ψ+〉23 − |Ψ−〉14⨂|Ψ−〉23 − |Φ+〉14⨂|Φ+〉23...

Because you gave his paper as a reference. So if you think the point is relevant, I'd like to know what you think his answer to your...

That's not a bad paper, trying to present the Bohmian perspective. While I'm not particularly trying to critique it, it does fall...

It matters in the sense that you are the one quoting Riedmatten. I say the photons emerging from the BS (post-swap) are in a...

Not sure if it's been brought up in this thread, but section 3/4 of this paper seems to work out the details in a toy model (I think...

Oh really? And exactly when does that happen? After the projecting Beam Splitter? Or upon passing polarizers and detection (i.e...

Yep. He also says that when photons 2 and 3 are measured in the Bell basis via a BSM, they are projected onto one Bell state. Not four...

That's exactly my point. That there can be 3 pairs included in a swap - i.e. 3 photons converging at a BS - is not hypothetical. Or...

Yes. I would like to add that the first person who understood the importance of the quantum description of the measuring apparatus was...

The notion “state function” for ##\ket{\psi}## in QT might indeed confuse lay-persons who are interested in physics. They might mix up...

From a former post by @FactChecker: "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." "in mathematics you don't...
