ZapperZ said:WHOA! No! THIS is exactly what I want you to show! What system produces ONE photon with such superposition! You cannot "say" this if you can't demonstrate that this thing actually exist.
[the rest of your posting is moot if this doesn't exist].
You mean the H atom transition from 2p to 1s isn't good enough? Or do you think this isn't possible or isn't a realistic example?
Zz.
I also don't know how to produce this state.
Ask vanesch, , he introduced this state.
But WHY exactly can't this state exist, besides that we both don't know how to produce it.
In the prism example I get the same experimental results, both in the 'statistical mixture' AND in the 'superposition' interpretation.
What I mean is: suppose a theoretical physicist claims that there is such a one-photon-superposition state. He would say something like:
"Hey, I interpret the spectrum behind the prism in another way.
It could also be that this is caused by many photons, each of them in a superposition state."
Then how would you disprove his claim experimentally (e.g. by another experiment)?
