If I can translate the question into the language that I would understand, it would read: is there a physical process that can...

These would be the same string theorists that were sure the LHC would find evidence of supersymmetry. AFAIK loop quantum gravity hasn't...

in the 19th and 20th century physicists were looking for the luminous aether and the Michelson Morley experiment found no evidence for...

Yes, I'm trying to see if there are different possible mechanisms. There has been some experimental results that ruled out the basic...

This topic intrigues me, and I think this approach to address the larger problem of quantum gravity is closer to the way physics works...

Hi to all! I want to ask the opinion of the forum about the conjecture on the collapsing wave function ##\psi## due to the presence of...

OK so it depends on what state you have. The expectation value of ##a## for a single Fock state is zero. But you get a nonzero value...

Why do you say this experiment can be analysed in flat spacetime? Earth's gravity does not represent flat spacetime.

The Wikipedia statement probably intended to explain how the one-particle Hilbert space is used as a basic element to build up multiple...

Then we are in agreement. Personally I also prefer to work on phase space, but one needs to work through the basics to have a good...

Yes, I agree that off-diagonal terms carry the phase information, but not in the Fock basis. One needs a basis involving the other...

That quote is also significant for what it does not say: it does not say that one cannot use quantum theory for such scenarios.

No, go back and look at #7, #9 and #16 again. It is not a strawman.

OK but what is the reason why we want such a probability interpretation? It is not used in classical theory where we measure intensity...

True, I've expressed myself poorly. Let me clarify. If ##|\psi\rangle## and ##|\phi\rangle## are single photon states, then we can have...
