Hi there,

How can I find out how many photons would land in each areas, for the following patterns:
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/tpru/BasilHiley/QuantEraserLight.pdf - page two's image (screen B)
How many photons make up 'eraser no photon' pattern, and where each is.
Likewise for the 'eraser yes photon' pattern, and where each is (i.e. on which half is it on, and in what 'lump')

Taking those fringe/anti-fringe patterns, applying those same photons to which-slit patterns (http://books.google.co.nz/books?id=...utiful Invisible&pg=PA194#v=onepage&q&f=false), how many of the fringe photons make up the slit 1 pattern, and where each of those photons is on the screen, likewise how many anti-fringe photons make up the slit 2 pattern, and where each is.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
