On Delayed Choice and Contingent Absorber Experiments
R. E. Kastner
TL;DR
This paper discusses how a variation of the Wheeler Delayed Choice Experiment challenges orthodox quantum mechanics similarly to Maudlin-type experiments, and argues that the Transactional Interpretation cannot be refuted by these experiments.
Contribution
It demonstrates that a modified delayed choice experiment poses similar challenges to orthodox quantum mechanics and clarifies the limitations of the Transactional Interpretation.
Findings
A variation of the Wheeler Delayed Choice Experiment presents the same challenge to orthodox quantum mechanics.
Maudlin-type contingent absorber experiments challenge the Transactional Interpretation.
The paper argues TI cannot be refuted by these experiments.
Abstract
It is pointed out that a slight variation on the Wheeler Delayed Choice Experiment presents the same challenge to orthodox quantum mechanics as Maudlin-type contingent absorber experiments present to the Transactional Interpretation (TI). Therefore, the latter cannot be used as a basis for refutation of TI.
