A proposed resolution of the delayed-choice paradox
Year: 2014
Type: preprint
Abstract: . This paper proposes a resolution of the delayed-choice paradox of the Conven-tional Theory of quantum mechanics, where a particle seems to know what will happen in the future, and changes its present behavior accordingly. A comparison of the Conventional Theory with an Advanced Theory and a Symmetrical Theory of the same delayed-choice experiment suggests that the apparent paradox is caused by an incorrect assumption about the interaction of a wavefunction with a beam-splitter. Once this assumption is corrected, there is no delayed-choice paradox in any of the three theories. 1.
