Consistent Histories and Quantum Delayed Choice
John Wheeler devised a gedanken experiment in which a piece of apparatus can be altered just before the arrival of particle, and this “delayed choice” can, seemingly, alter the quantum state of the particle at a much earlier time, long before the choice is made. A slightly different gedanken experiment, which exhibits the same conceptual difficulty, is analyzed using the techniques of consisten...
متن کاملIs the Interpretation of Delayed-choice Experiments Misleading?
The interpretation of an experimental realization of Wheeler’s delayed-choice gedanken experiment is discussed and called into question. IPNO-DR-07-04 Once more, we find that nature behaves in agreement with the prediction of quantum mechanics even in surprising situations where a tension with relativity seems to appear. It is this quotation from J.S. Bell [1] which brings Vincent Jacques’s rep...
متن کاملA Variant and Explanation of the Delayed Choice Experiment
In this work we suggest a variant of the remarkable Wheeler’s delayed choice gedanken experiment. In our experiment, single photon described by a superposition state with two terms dynamically interacts with an atom. Preparation of the atom in any of two excited states can be realized practically in the last moment before interaction. For atom in the first excited state there is practically non...
متن کاملDifferent Learning Levels in Multiple-choice and Essay Tests: Immediate and Delayed Retention
This study investigated the effects of different learning levels, including Remember an Instance (RI), Remember a Generality (RG), and Use a Generality (UG) in multiple-choice and essay tests on immediate and delayed retention. Three-hundred pre-intermediate students participated in the study. Reading passages with multiple-choice and essay questions in different levels of learning were giv...
متن کاملEarly Gedanken Experiments of Quantum Mechanics Revisited
The famous gedanken experiments of quantum mechanics have historically played crucial roles in trying to understand quantum mechanics and in developing the Copenhagen interpretation. They are re-examined here from the perspective of standard quantum mechanics, without a mix of any ontological interpretation. It is shown that, in most of these gedanken experiments, entanglement plays a crucial r...
