The Elitzur–Vaidman bomb tester experiment provided evidence for the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics by showing that photons in superposition make a concrete choice when faced with a live bomb or a dud https://t.co/eoaZqfu2nu
@IsomorphicPhi I can just show you something elementary and beautiful, in my opinion... take a look at this. https://t.co/GvEF8WmCrX
@ScienceAdvances @qlab_sapienza @fastgroup_ifn @QuantumRW @anita_camillini @efgalvao On the theory side, we extend our previous results so they apply to multimode interferometers, and carefully analyse the role of imperfections in quantum advantage fueled
Interaction-free measurements: a quantum paradox. It's possible to detect objects without 'touching' them. Re-defining the boundaries of physical interaction. 🌌 #QuantumMechanics #PhysicsResearch https://t.co/hG7RgxoO98
@QuantumRW @anita_camillini @efgalvao Their results also showed that noncontextual models can perform tasks such as quantum interrogation, AKA the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb testing protocol, https://t.co/43GX4w6ko6. (3/n)
In the original 1993 paper [https://t.co/Qv51UT9EQj] Elitzur & Vaidman showed that by repeating the measurement many times, using non-50/50 beamsplitters the probability of making an interaction free measurement can reach 50% (12/14)
I'm planning on covering the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb test in this semester's quantum class. It's currently my favorite thought experiment. Can you verify a single photon detector works without it ever interacting with a photon? Yup!
A friend of mine told me about the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb testing paper (https://t.co/zEAof78mIE) where one can "probe a bomb" which, if active, explodes upon interaction. Except in this paper they show that one can find out if the bomb is active without eve
