This very much reminds of similar schemes, a number of which employed MZ interferometers, that you came up with back in the late 70s and early 80s! I remember a number of designs very close to this one, with a MZI on one end and various detector arrangements on the other side. Weird!


Yes, but I never had it exactly right in terms of the apparatus, but I did have his eqs. 5 & 6! I was trying to "disentangle" his eq. 1 to get his eq 3. So I had the same formal idea for sure, but did not really know how to implement it in the total experimental design as he seems to have done. However, let's see what Stapp et-al have to say about this.

The key is his fig 2 & eq. 3. At the moment, without thinking about it very much, I cannot refute what he claims about eq. 3. Does anyone see the error there? If there is no way to tell which path photon 2 takes then there should be local interference according to Feynman. And it seems there is no way to tell what state photon 1 was in on the left. So why won't it work? Any opinions?

Probably this paper is wrong, but I have not yet had time to read it carefully. Any opinions? The author is aware of Stapp's et-al objection.
