In the erasure experiments the data is not deleted. The transformation that 'deletes' the data is unitary and reversible and merely changes the basis. This can be reversed by another unitary transformation to restore the original state.Trollfaz said:I keep hearing in pop science that the quantum eraser experiment shows that the interference pattern emerges again if the data of the photon is deleted.
I suspect what is really going on is that the scientists did something to the photons to affect their paths so that it cannot be determined. Am I right?
The Quantum Eraser Experiment is a physics experiment that demonstrates the principles of quantum mechanics, specifically the concept of wave-particle duality. It involves a double-slit experiment, where a single particle is sent through two parallel slits and creates an interference pattern. The experiment also includes a "quantum eraser" which can reveal or hide the path of the particle, depending on whether or not its path is observed.
Yes, the Quantum Eraser Experiment is a real scientific experiment that has been conducted and replicated by numerous researchers. It has been featured in peer-reviewed scientific journals and is considered a fundamental experiment in quantum mechanics.
No, the Quantum Eraser Experiment does not disprove the laws of causality. While the experiment may seem counterintuitive, it is consistent with the principles of quantum mechanics and does not violate any fundamental laws of physics.
No, the Quantum Eraser Experiment does not prove the existence of parallel universes. The results of the experiment can be explained by the principles of wave-particle duality and do not require the existence of parallel universes.
No, the Quantum Eraser Experiment cannot be used to send information faster than the speed of light. While the experiment may seem to show a correlation between two entangled particles, this correlation cannot be used to transmit information as it is not a reliable or consistent means of communication.
