A Quantum Field Theory View of Interaction Free Measurements
arXiv:1911.03339
Abstract
We propose a Quantum Field Theory description of beams on a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and apply the method to describe Interaction Free Measurements (IFMs), concluding that there is a change of momentum of the fields in IFMs. Analysing the factors involved in the probability of emission of low-energy photons, we argue that they do not yield meaningful contributions to the probabilities of the IFMs.
