There are a number of experiments and observations that appear to argue for the existence of particles, including the photoelectric and Compton effects, exposure of only one film grain by a spread-out photon wave function, and particle-like trajectories in bubble chambers. It can be shown, however, that all the particle-like phenomena can be explained by using properties of the wave functions/state vectors alone. Thus there is no evidence for particles. Wave-particle duality arises because the wave functions alone have both wave-like and particle-like properties. Further the results of the Bell-Aspect experiment and other experiments on entangled systems, which seem to imply peculiar properties for particles if they exist, are easily and naturally understood if reality consists of the state vectors alone. The linear equation-Hilbert space structure for the state vectors, by itself, can explain every mystery in quantum mechanics except the origin of the probability law.
Past of a particle inside an interferometer: the two-state vector approach
Hashmi et al. [J. Phys. A 49,345302(2016)]声称,Vaidman [Phys. Rev. A 87,052104(2013)]引入的量子粒子过去的方法在某些例子中存在困难,甚至可以被反驳。在这里,我回答他们的批评,表明该方法提供了一个很好的解释,他们考虑的所有例子。它与标准量子力学完全一致,为分析干涉实验提供了有用的工具。
