I am very high, does the following make any sense?


Proposed Experiment: Temporal Quantum Eraser

Objective
The goal of this experiment is to investigate how the timing of measurements on entangled particles affects the manifestation of interference patterns, thereby providing insights into the role of time in quantum mechanics and the nature of causality.

Experimental Setup

Photon Pair Generation: Use a nonlinear crystal to generate pairs of entangled photons (signal and idler) via spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
Path Configuration: Direct the signal photon through a double-slit apparatus, while the idler photon is sent through a separate path that includes a series of beam splitters and detectors.
Measurement Timing: Implement a mechanism to control the timing of measurements on the idler photon. This can be achieved using a programmable delay line that allows the experimenter to choose when to measure the idler photon, either before or after the signal photon has passed through the slits.
>>
Measurement Options:

Which-Path Measurement: Set up detectors to determine the path taken by the signal photon, thus providing which-path information.
Quantum Erasure: Include a configuration that allows for the erasure of which-path information after the signal photon has been detected, similar to the delayed-choice quantum eraser.
Data Collection: Collect data on the interference patterns observed with the signal photon under different conditions of measurement timing for the idler photon.

Expected Outcomes

Interference Restoration: If the which-path information is erased after the signal photon has been detected, we expect to observe a restoration of the interference pattern, demonstrating the non-classical behavior of quantum systems.
Temporal Influence: By varying the timing of the measurement on the idler photon, we can explore whether the restoration of the interference pattern is influenced by the timing of the measurement, potentially shedding light on the relationship between time and quantum events.

Significance

This experiment would contribute to ongoing discussions regarding the nature of time in quantum mechanics, particularly in the context of retrocausality and the implications of measurement choices. It could provide new insights into how information is processed in quantum systems and challenge classical intuitions about causation and temporal order.
By extending the concepts of the delayed-choice quantum eraser, this proposed experiment aims to deepen our understanding of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and the intricate relationship between measurement, entanglement, and time.

No. Prisms don't work like that.

Sounds really retarded OP
