A Comment on "Asking photons where they have been in plain language"
Lev Vaidman
TL;DR
This paper defends an experiment involving photon paths in a nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer, clarifying misconceptions and affirming the validity of the original findings.
Contribution
It provides a rebuttal to criticisms of the photon path experiment, reaffirming the interpretation of photon trajectories in quantum experiments.
Findings
Criticism of the experiment is unfounded
Photon paths in the interferometer are consistent with original claims
Supports the interpretation of photon trajectories in quantum mechanics
Abstract
The criticism of the experiment showing disconnected traces of photons passing through a nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer is shown to be unfounded.
