Quantum mechanical interaction-free measurements
A novel manifestation of nonlocality of quantum mechanics is presented. It is shown that it is possible to ascertain the existence of an object in a given region of space without interacting with it.…
Complete description of a quantum system at a given time
A generalization of the description of a quantum system in the time interval between two measurements is presented. A new concept of a generalized state is introduced. Generalized states yield a…
The Two-State Vector Formalism: An Updated Review
The two-state vector formalism of quantum mechanics is a time-symmetrized approach to standard quantum theory particularly helpful for the analysis of experiments performed on preand post-selected…
Asking photons where they have been.
TLDR
From the analysis, it is concluded that the past of the photons is not represented by continuous trajectories, although a "common sense" analysis adopted in various welcher weg measurements, delayed-choice which-path experiments, and counterfactual communication demonstrations yields a single trajectory.
Past of a quantum particle
Although there is no consensus regarding the ``reality'' of the past of a quantum particle, in situations where there is only one trajectory with a nonvanishing quantum wave of the particle between…
The Two-State Vector Formalism of Quantum Mechanics
We present the two-state vector formalism of quantum mechanics. It is a time-symmetrized approach to standard quantum theory particularly helpful for the analysis of experiments performed on pre- and…
On schizophrenic experiences of the neutron or why we should believe in the many‐worlds interpretation of quantum theory
Abstract This is a philosophical paper in favor of the many‐worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum theory. The necessity of introducing many worlds is explained by analyzing a neutron interference…
Torque and force on a magnetic dipole
Recent controversies about torque and force on a magnetic dipole are discussed. Three essentially different current loop models are analyzed. Although all models yield the same expression for the…

  • 23 November 2001
It is shown, under the assumption of the possibility to perform an arbitrary local operation, that all nonlocal variables related to two or more separate sites can be measured instantaneously, except…
Role of potentials in the Aharonov-Bohm effect
There is a consensus today that the the main lesson of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is that a picture of electromagnetism based on the local action of the field strengths is not possible in quantum…
