Unobservable Potentials to Explain a Quantum Eraser and a Delayed-Choice Experiment
We present a new explanation for a quantum eraser. Mathematical description
of the traditional explanation needs quantum-superposition states. However, the
phenomenon can be explained without quantum-superposition states by introducing
unobservable potentials which can be identified as an indefinite metric vector.
In addition, a delayed choice experiment can also be explained by the
interference between the photons and unobservable potentials, which seems like
an unreal long-range correlation beyond the causality.Comment: 21pages, 2figures. The related paper is "arXiv:1709.04103
