This is the second time I've asked this question, I thought I'd add some extra details. Consider a single accelerating electron, this electron emits a single photon wave which radiates out spherically in a superposition, What direction and what time does the electron recoil if there is no defined direction for the photon before it's wavefunction collapses? also, what would happen if say a laser is pointed at an empty region of space, such that the photons wave function never collapses, does the laser recoil?
