D4 -- -- -- / <-- 2 entangled --> \ -- -- -- D1
photons
we have 2 entangled photons
and 2 interferometers
photon 1 hits interferometer 1 and splits
in D1, D2 (if we recombine D1, D2 we have
interference)
photon 2 hits interferometer 2 and splits
in D3, D4 (if we recombine D3, D4 we have
interference)
questions are:
1- if we detect photon 1 in D2, it means that
photon 2 is in D3? [I think so]
2- if we detect photon 1 in D2, we destroy
interference in the interferometer 1? [Yes]
3- if we detect photon 1 in D2, we destroy
interference in the interferometer 1 and we
also destroy interference in interferometer 2?
[I hope so]
4- thus, detecting or not photon 1 in D2, can
destroy, or not, the interference in the
interferometer 2? [I hope so]
5- if detecting (or not) photon 1 in D2 deletes
(or not) the interference in the interferometer
2, can we make a 0/1 telegraph? [who knows?]
6- is this telegraph FTL? [that's the main
question]
