Reply to arXiv:2111.13357 ("The Quantum Eraser Non-Paradox'')

Colm Bracken, Jonte R Hance, Sabine Hossenfelder

In a recent criticism (arXiv:2111.13357) of our paper arXiv:2111.09347, Drezet argues that we have forgotten to consider superpositions of detector eigenstates. However, such super…

The Quantum Eraser Paradox

Colm Bracken, Jonte R. Hance, Sabine Hossenfelder

The Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser experiment is commonly interpreted as implying that in quantum mechanics a choice made at one time can influence an earlier event. We here suggest…
