The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Experiment - Deep dive

The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser Experiment – Deep Dive
( Note: To get the most out of this presentation you need to be familiar with the Double Slit experiment and the basics of quantum entanglement).

Just when you think things can’t get much weirder along comes the DCQE! Amongst other things it shows how, at least in the quantum realm, events that have already happened can be altered! Unbelievable!

It’s primary objective was to take the ‘physical measuring’ out of the process of measurement. Early detractors of the Double Slit suggested that the act of measurement itself was altering the in-flight photon. The DCQE by using smoke and mirrors, captures our knowledge of the ‘which way’ path of the photon and thereby the facility to monitor the collapse of the wave function.

Performed for the first time in 1999, this experiment continues to baffle theoretical scientists of today. Join me to discuss this mysterious behaviour of quantum physics!
