The answer will be a "yes" (despite looking like a violation of the Uncertainty Principle).

In this article I explore the possibility of being able to hear the sound of a quantum superposition of two sounds. What would it mean and is it feasible to explore performing an experiment that…
No-go theorem based on incomplete information of Wigner about his friend

The notion of measurements is central for many debates in quantum mechanics. One critical point is whether a measurement can be regarded as an absolute event, giving the same result for any observer…
Observations of wavefunction collapse and the retrospective application of the Born rule.

In this paper I present a thought experiment that gives different results depending on whether or not the wavefunction collapses. Since the wavefunction does not obey the Schrodinger equation during…
Entanglement: quantum or classical?
- Physics, PhilosophyReports on progress in physics. Physical Society

This work discusses some inequalities and bounds that are violated by quantum states thereby falsifying the existence of some of the classical hidden variables theories and discusses some exciting manifestations of entanglement, such as N00N states and the non-separable single particle states.

We review how reparametrization of space and time, namely the procedure where both are made to depend on yet another parameter, can be used to formulate quantum physics in a way that is naturally…
