I have read that these experiments have been successful and do not cause a disagreement with QM. But I can’t quite determine what was learned. So what did they prove or disprove? Is there a simple explanation? I thought they were designed to determine if wave collapse breaks either locality or causality? (Non-Locality – instant action at a distance. Non-Causality – action goes back in time. I think I have that part right.) It should be one or the other, right?

(Oops, I hope I didn’t ask a question that was answered in that other Quantum Eraser thread. Sorry if I committed a PF faux pas.)
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
