I was wondering what people thought of the Cheshire Cat experiment published in the July 2014 issue of Nature Communications: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140729/ncomms5492/full/ncomms5492.html. The conclusion is that "any probe system that interacts with the Cheshire Cat system weakly...
Here's an experiment using weak measurements on photons in a "nested interferometer." They conclude:
In conclusion, we have performed direct measurements which shed new light on the question: Where were the photons passing through an interferometer? The main results are presented in Fig. 2B...
Here is a fun talk by Fay Dowker on a path integral approach to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) correlations. It's a physical instantiation of N. David Mermin's "no instruction sets" for GHZ in his Am. J. Phys. paper "Quantum mysteries revisited," v58, Aug 1990, 731-734.
The talk...
Just finished Jim Baggott's book, "Farewell to Realilty: How Modern Physics has Betrayed the Search for Scientific Truth." Anyone here read the book and care to respond?
Huw Price is speaking tomorrow (9 Nov) at the Univ of Maryland on his recent paper, "New Slant on the EPR-Bell Experiment," co-authored with Peter Evans and Ken Wharton (arXiv: 1001.5057v3 [quant-ph] 20 Jun 2010).
In this paper, they argue that the ontological use of action-at-a-distance...
