A quantum potential approach to the Wheeler delayed-choice experiment

  • 1. Birkbeck Coll., London (UK). Dept. of Physics

Description

The authors apply the quantum potential approach to a 'delayed-choice' experiment considered by Wheeler, J.A. in Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Marlow, A.R. (ed.) 9-48 Academic, New York, 1978) and show that there is no need to conclude that the past has had no existence except insofar as it is recorded in the present. (author)
