• Title: Nonlocal action at a distance also acts in the past
• Authors: Mandip Singh
• Abstract summary: The nonlocal action of a measurement can determine the quantum state of a distant entangled particle instantly. It is demonstrated that the measurement-induced collapse of a quantum entangled state also determines the quantum state of a distant photon in its past. The past and future are defined with respect to the time of quantum state collapse in the rest frame of a quantum state measurement device.

• Abstract: The nonlocal action of a measurement performed on a quantum entangled particle can determine the quantum state of a distant entangled particle instantly. Since the relativistic simultaneity of events is frame dependent therefore, a physically valid question arises, does the nonlocal action at a distance determine the quantum state of the distant particle in its past, when quantum state collapse is observed from a different inertial frame of reference? From the relativity of simultaneity, Lorentz invariance of the quantum entangled state of photons under consideration and the validity of Bell's theorem in all inertial frames of reference, it is demonstrated that the measurement-induced collapse of a quantum entangled state also determines the quantum state of a distant photon in its past, provided one of the photons is located in the future. The past and future are defined with respect to the time of quantum state collapse in the rest frame of a quantum state measurement device.

• Quantum determinism and completeness restored by indistinguishability and long-time particle detection [0.0]
  We argue that measurement data in quantum physics can be rigorously interpreted only as a result of a statistical, macroscopic process. We show with the illustrative cases of the Schr"odinger cat and the Bell experiment that once the Born rule is abandoned on the level of a single particle, realism, locality and causality are restored.

  The Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser demonstrates the relationship between quantum measurement, wave-particle duality, and the temporal ordering of observations. By utilizing the principles of quantum superposition, entanglement, and the non-local collapse of the wave function, we seek to rationalize the counterintuitive outcomes observed in the experiment.

  The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

  I derive conditions, under which two measurements can be taken on the uncollapsed photon-pair state. The measurements taken by both detectors in this situation are uncorrelated. If experimental results of the proposed experiment disagree with the predictions -- results measured on the quantum state are correlated, new space-time distribution of the quantum state's collapse has to be proposed.
