Comment on "Energy Non-Conservation in Quantum Mechanics"
Johann Summhammer
TL;DR
This paper critiques a recent proposal claiming energy non-conservation in a quantum experiment, identifying a mathematical approximation error and reaffirming energy conservation through detailed analysis.
Contribution
It provides a critical analysis of a previous claim, correcting the mathematical approximation and reaffirming energy conservation in quantum mechanics.
Findings
Identifies an unjustified approximation in the previous protocol.
Restores the principle of energy conservation in the analyzed quantum system.
Clarifies the conditions under which energy conservation holds in the proposed experiment.
Abstract
In the posting arXiv:2101.11052v2 an experimental protocol involving two spins is proposed, which should show violation of energy conservation in a quantum experiment. In the present comment an unjustified mathematical approximation leading to that conclusion is pointed out. A detailed analysis will restore energy conservation.
