The reason you need coincidence counting is so that you know which idler goes with which signaler. Otherwise there are no meaningful dispersion patterns to speak of. Is this not so? Where is my severe misunderstanding exactly?
You have not addressed the ONLY relevant point about any of...
Right, this is why I said this:
(Technically since this experiment loses some which-path information and reveals some, you would get both patterns super-imposed but that is not relevant to where I am going with this idea.)
Nevertheless it will not affect the experiment as I have described it...
Based on the results of every variation of the two-slit experiment so far, the presence or absence of the interference pattern is based on whether or not which-path information can be known or not. The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiment...
The delayed choice quantum erasure experiment would seem to contradict that. Although it is for a very short period of time, which-path information is contained in the experiment before being "lost" or erased. When it is erased the interference pattern is formed even if the information is...
This is going to be a little weird so please bear with me for a moment.
Based on the results of experiments like the delayed choice quantum eraser it would seem that you could use one of these experiments to determine the results of a future random event. Say for example you ran a series of...
